Set against the backdrop of the Second World War, the narrative centers on Philip Rhayader, a lonely, physically disabled painter living in the isolated marshes of the Essex coast, and a young girl named Frith. Their lives become intertwined through the rescue and care of a wounded snow goose, a migratory bird from Canada. As the war intensifies, the story follows their emotional journey and the eventual, courageous role Rhayader plays during the evacuation of Dunkirk. The book is widely acclaimed for its lyrical prose, themes of sacrifice, compassion, and the profound connection between human beings and the natural world, capturing a powerful and enduring vision of heroism in the face of conflict.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":10,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-snow-goose-a-story-by-paul-gallico/428842/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-snow-goose-a-story-by-paul-gallico/428842.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"CatatanPagi","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-01","2026-09-29",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",13,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"What

A S T O R Y B YPAUL GALLICO\n\nTHEY tell the story of the Snow Goosetoday in London,in Dover,in the Chan-nel ports—wherever there are men gath-ered who saw the mighty bird soar calmand unafraid through the leaden deathand blanketing smoke of Dunkirk,andwho owe their safety to the dark twistedman and the small boat that those greatblack-tipped wings convoyed.They tellof the Snow Goose,all they know of her;but what they tell is only a little of thestory.The truth lies far from blazingDunkirk,the terrible Stukas,the offshoretransports,and the huddled men on thebeaches.The truth lies in a distant Chan-nel marsh,up a winding estuary awayfrom the sea;and it involves not alonethe Canada-bred wanderer of the air-ways,but Philip Rhayader and theblonde girl Frith as well.  \nTheirs is a curious story,wild and sim-ple and strangely moving in its simplic-ity;and Paul Gallico tells it with all hissuperb narrative skill and with a remark-able tenderness of vision.  \nTYPOGRAPHY,BINDING
