Packed full of emotion, this touching story tells how a lonely old creature is transformed when a stranger turns up at his door and starts to tell him a story…The sadness of the Snorgh, the chaos caused when the Sailor turns up, the beauty of the story and how it changes the lives of the two new acquaintances is a lyrical story which is full of action but also leaves much to think about.
A poignant and witty story about an unlikely friendship;
a surprising journey - and the discovery that we can all do the
most amazing things, if we only dare to.
Snorghs don't have visitors. Snorghs don't share soup. And Snorghs
most definitely DO NOT like adventures. But then a bedraggled
sailor arrives telling exciting stories of exotic lands - and the
Snorgh finds himself going on an adventure after all.
