‘Not a parable about death’: #RaymondBriggs’s notes set record straight for #TheSnowman
Remarks scribbled in a Finnish copy of the much-loved book, to be featured in an exhibition on the author, reveal how the story was misunderstood

Tonight in 1982 — THE SNOWMAN debuted on Channel 4 in the U.K.
Dianne Jackson’s animated adaptation of the Raymond Briggs book went on to earn an Oscar nomination.
A cherished classic. ❄️

@jens going through my catalogue of #MSX games with 5yo #BeardGrabber, I've been running into similar issues, and especially those 80s and 90s games were mostly arcade–based or –inspired, and walking simulators weren't really a thing yet.
Yesterday I thought I'd found a nice game I remember playing myself quite a bit, #TheSnowman by #Quicksilva, based on #RaymondBriggs' book (https://frgcb.blogspot.com/2015/12/the-snowman-quicksilva-ltd-1983.html), which had only a moderate timer, and enemies would only eat the lump of snow you were holding, and not kill your character.
However, getting on and off stairs was tricky even for me, and I quickly discovered that kiddo struggled with staying on platforms; which apparently does kill you.
So many games that I think would be so much more playable for beginning gamers if they'd have an option to turn off the timer, enable invincibility, or toggle some form of no-clip, yet would still remain entertaining. -
"I wanted to see if a nuclear attack does happen, what do people actually do? [...] The authorities were playing it down, pretending it's like the Second World War, when it jolly well wasn't. I wanted people to know what's involved, then they could make up their minds."

The Raymond Briggs Retrospective at the Bowes Museum has a wall with a white board on it where kids (and big kids) can have a go at drawing their favourite Raymond characters. These are by me and my partner. We’re waiting for the call, Penguin Books. #RaymondBriggs #Illustration #BadDrawing #ForgiveMeRaymond
