Snitte, Denmark`s art of wood whittling, is a rite of passage for most Scandinavians, & the passion for it lasts a lifetime.

Of all weathers, snow is the one that has always affected Marcus Sedgwick the most. While many people`s idea of the perfect holiday involves sun, sea & s&, he instead makes trips to cold, snowy parts of the world: Russia, Scandinavia or the Arctic Circle. A few years ago he bought a mountain home, an old chalet d`alpage high in the Haute Savoie, & for the first time he began to understand what it is to live in an environment where extreme snowfall is frequent. Like the six sides of a snowflake, the book has six chapters, each exploring the art, literature & science of snow, as well as his own experiences & memories, asking whether it really did snow more during his boyhood in Kent & whether changing climate patterns might mean, that for some areas of the world, snow may become a thing of the past. He also wonders why snow is so powerful for our imagination, so transformative & as fundamental as our response to darkness, to sunlight. ...
