The famous illustrator Raymond Briggs has died. In the UK he is most famous for The Snowman, but I assume that in many other countries When the wind blows is more famous. Both stories were made into movies which seem to have surpassed the original stories’ popularity.
There’s only one Ramyond Briggs related blog post: The 2013 blog post The Snowman and The Snowdog presents some information about the sequel to The Snowman film.
