On a train home with the Sun in my eyes
As the rays of winter sunlight hit my back they remind me of home, for a moment.
I book a train ticket home and as I sit by the window and the train starts to roll, pictures of; the town and buildings, the sea, people, winter sunlight and snippets of conversations - from so many years ago - start to take form again.
They now fill the pages of this book as maps, rhythms, illustrations, words and of course - winter sunshine.
“It is utterly beautiful. Just wonderful - true and clear and brilliant. I love everything about it.” Nicola Davies, Laureate for Wales
“If you’ve read a book by Chris Snow before you will know you are in for a creative treat. There is nothing quite like them. Magical”
This is quite a big book at just under 21x30cm and 124 pages. The paper is lovely and thick and untreated so it has a nice matt feel. The book is printed by a company who seem to have a really good approach to their environmental and sustainability responsibilities. Your book will be sent carefully packaged in a strong cardboard book mailer and with my sincere gratitude.
You can save save 10% and also £4.95 on extra postage if you buy this and my other book from this series, called 'It started with the Starlings'- or any two books at the same time. See the options when you order. Hope this sounds good.
Thanks very much for your support
