Originally published in 1978, 'The Snowman' - created and illustrated by Raymond Briggs - has become one of the world’s most popular children’s stories. In 1982, it was adapted as a 26-minute animated film, which quickly turned into a hand-drawn animation bible.

​

In keeping with the book, the film of 'The Snowman' is wordless and free of dialogue, except for the now iconic 'Walking in the Air' which features as part of a now timeless musical score.
 
Both song and score were written and composed by Howard Blake, who had in fact written the melody some years before, having been inspired by a walk on a Cornish beach.
