English illustrator Raymond Briggs is best known in Britain for his story The Snowman, a charming tale of a little boy who wakes up on a snowy day and befriends a special snow man. Told entirely though full color illustrations, the 'book without words' was adapted into a twenty-six-minute animated television special in 1982, the annual screening of which has become a popular British cultural event.
