[Lillian · Rating 4 out of 5]

Written in 1855, this children's book, translated from French, tells the story of a young boy and his grandfather buried by snow in a mountain chalet for several months. It's a simple story, but a haunting survival tale. I won't forget how the grandfather gives the boy the immense gift of equipping him for what is to come.
