The Snowman

Inspired by the Original Story by Raymond Briggs

By: Michael Morpurgo

Narrated by: Richard Armitage

When James wakes to see snow falling one December morning, he is delighted and rushes outside to make a snowman. With coal eyes, an old green hat and scarf and a tangerine nose, he is perfect, and James can hardly bear to go inside and leave him. In the middle of the night, he wakes and creeps out to see his snowman again - and to his amazement, the snowman comes to life....

This special tale of true Christmas magic will bring everyone's favourite childhood festive character to a brand-new audience.

Richard Armitage is absolutely enchanting! I have long been a fan of his acting, but his storytelling is just amazing.

Classic for a Winter’s Day

A few years have gone by since I shared with younger students the video and book of The Snowman by Raymond Briggs. It had become a favorite of mine to share with children, but now I have found this version by Michael Morpurgo and I have fallen in love all over again with this longer and more elaborate telling of Jame’s snowman experience. Richard Armitage does an outstanding job with the telling of the story, too.

One of the best Audibles ever ❤

For all the young of whatever age... I assumed this was some version of Frosty the Snowman, but it's much better. Treat yourself!

Christmas-tastic!

Beautiful story and a wonderful performance by mister Armitage.

Perfect for winter nights or summer evenings when you can't wait for it to be winter again :)
