Book description
Lettie Peppercorn lives in a house on stilts near the wind-swept
coast of Albion. Nothing incredible has ever happened to her, 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.
Sam Gayton lives in South London.
In 2009 he completed the Writing for Young People MA at Bath
Spa University. The Snow Merchant is his first book. His next
is about a little lost girl, six inches tall.
He loves American novels, Italian food and the English countryside.
When he's not writing, he likes playing old board games, strumming his
guitar and joining as many rock bands as possible (currently at seven).
