Lettie Peppercorn lives in a house on stilts near the wind-swept coast
of Albion, with no one to talk to but Periwinkle the pigeon. Her days
are filled with floor-sweeping, bed-making and soup-stirring. Her nights
are filled with dreams of her mother, who vanished long ago.
Nothing incredible has ever happened to Lettie, until one winter's
night. The night the Snow Merchant comes. He claims to be an alchemist -
the greatest that ever lived - and in a mahogany suitcase, he carries
his newest invention. It is an invention that will change Lettie's
life - and the world - forever. It is an invention called snow.
The Snow Merchant is a fantasy filled with family secrets, magical
transformations and wild adventure. Join Lettie on her journey to
uncover the true meaning of snow, family and friendship.
