According to a BBC poll The Snow Goose by Paul Gallico is the neglected classic most deserving of rediscovery. Originally published in 1940 as a newspaper short story, The Snow Goose is the work of American writer Paul Gallico (1897-1976). The story is about a painter and a young girl who seeks his help in caring for an injured bird. There are two copies available in the Library, one of them beautifully illustrated by wildlife artist Peter Scott.
