The Snow Goose narra dell’amicizia tra il pittore storpio Rhayader, deciso a vivere in solitudine presso un vecchio faro della Grande Palude, e Fritha, una bimba che ha bisogno d’aiuto per curare un’oca ferita. Ciò permetterà a Fritha di vedere oltre l’aspetto di Rhayader e darà a quest’ultimo l’opportunità di riscoprire la propria umanità, quando il drammatico corso della Storia busserà inesorabilmente alle porte della Grande Palude…
