Footprints : $b A story of the snow

Set against the crisp, unexpected snows of early Victorian Devon, the story follows the Marlowe family as they confront a winter their countryside has never truly known. When a rare snowfall blankets the fields, the farmer’s five sons and their sister Lucy discover the simple thrill of snow‑balls, sliding down hills, and the ambitious construction of a towering snow‑man that quickly becomes the talk of the village.

The narrative captures the lively banter and gentle rivalries among the children, especially the spirited debates between the eldest brothers and the headstrong Hugh. Their adventures are colored by the warmth of a close‑knit family and the quiet resilience of a rural community adjusting to a fleeting, magical change in their world. Listeners will be drawn into the vivid, winter‑kissed landscape and the timeless joys and challenges of growing up under an unusually white sky.
