About the Book

A spine-tingling magical fantasy and modern classic from the author of Charlie Bone, Jenny Nimmo.

‘Time to find out if you are a magician, Gwyn …’

Gwyn’s grandmother leaves him five gifts: a brooch, a piece of dried seaweed, a tin whistle, a scarf, and a broken toy horse. She tells him they will help make him a magician – but can Gwyn use them to bring his missing sister, Bethan, home?

The Snow Spider won the 1986 Smarties Grand Prix and it was awarded the Tir na n-Og Award in 1987.

Combining all of Jenny Nimmo’s trademark elements – unusual but compelling characters, stunning magic and a rich, vibrant story – The Snow Spider is perfect for readers aged 8 and up and fans of Harry Potter, Moondial and Tom’s Midnight Garden.

This edition features special bonus content, including an interview with Jenny Nimmo, a Welsh language glossary and the chance to find out about the Welsh legends that inspired the story.
