Philip Rhayader lives alone in an abandoned lighthouse on the\ndesolate Great Marsh of Essex. One afternoon, a hauntingly\nbeautiful child, Fritha, visits Rhayader, bringing with her an\ninjured snow goose. At first Fritha is scared of Rhayader, with his\nsinister hump and crooked hand, but he is gentle and kind and\nFritha begins to visit regularly. When the snow goose departs for\nhome, Rhayader is left alone again. The following winter, the snow\ngoose and Fritha return to the lighthouse. Time passes and one year\nFritha is frightened to discover her feelings for Rhayader. But\nthis is 1940 and Rhayader is setting sail for Dunkirk to help the\nsoldiers trapped on the beaches. Fritha never sees Rhayader again.\nBut the story of the saviour with the snow goose passes from\nsoldier to soldier and into legend…
