My book arrived.  Super work Sylvia.  Lovely drawings and a very well written story...sad and happy at the same time.  I think it would make an excellent wistful animated film, as with all things in the creative area, all it needs is to be seen in the right places and it could well be taken up. Of course, if that happens, I'll be able to say I knew Sylvia before she was famous. Thank you for a gem of a book Sylvia (and Sam of course.)

Agree with Lew, a sort of Raymond Briggs ‘The Snowman’ type short animation film… think of all those thousands of drawings required!

A film like The Snowman, what a great idea - and it does have all the right ingredients. Now who could be interested in that - and where could they be found? Mmm m.

Just received my books Sylvia, and paid up, thank you. The book is excellent and I would think that you, sorry Sam, had been writing for years, not to mention the illustrations which are brilliant. One copy is going to a friend for a Christmas present, just not quite decided yet who the lucky person will be! X
