Enchanting tale of friendship, growth, and loss

"The Little Snake" resonates with a heart-tugging blend of childhood wonder and poignant realities. If you're yearning for a story that weaves fantasy with the harsh truths of life, like the fleeting nature of relationships and the starkness of war, this book offers a delicate balance. It's a resonant fable for those who cherish nostalgic, bittersweet narratives that echo long after the last page is turned.

Description

This is the story of Mary, a young girl born in a beautiful city full of rose gardens and fluttering kites. When she is still very small, Mary meets Lanmo, a shining golden snake, who becomes her very best friend. The snake visits Mary many times, he sees her city change, become sadder as bombs drop and war creeps in. He sees Mary and her family leave their home, he sees her grow up and he sees her fall in love. But Lanmo knows that the day will come when he can no longer visit Mary, when his destiny will break them apart, and he wonders whether having a friend can possibly be worth the pain of knowing you will lose them. From one of Britain's most gifted and celebrated writers, The Little Snake is a magical and deeply moving fable about the journey we all take through life, about love and family, about war and resilience, about how we live in this world, and how we leave it.
