Tell you about it … «The Snow Goose» is a beautiful tale of a hunchbacked artist, a girl, a wounded bird and a courageous act at Dunkirk. Also included in this volume is «The Small Miracle», a contemporary fable inspired by St Francis of Assisi. Both tales are endearing classics of the storyteller’s art. Подробнее
