THE SNOW GOOSE is the most famous of these three stories by Paul Gallico. It is the story of Philip, a lonely painter who lives in an old lighthouse, and Fritha, a young girl who brings him a large white bird - the snow goose. It becomes a special bird in Philip´s life - and later; the girl becomes special too.
