Critic Robert van Gelder called it "perhaps the most sentimental story that ever has achieved the dignity of a Borzoi [prestige imprint of publisher Knopf] imprint. It is a timeless legend that makes use of every timeless appeal that could be crowded into it". [2] A public library put it on a list of 'tearjerkers'. Gallico made no apologies, saying that in the contest between sentiment and 'slime', "sentiment remains so far out in front, as it always has and always will among ordinary humans that the calamity-howlers and porn merchants have to increase the decibels of their lamentations, the hideousness of their violence and the mountainous piles of their filth to keep in the race at all."

In 2002, William Fiennes published The Snow Geese – a travel book about the snow goose and its migrations. The author was inspired by reading The Snow Goose as a child. This is a story of compassion it poses questions about the human understanding and the need for friendship, companionship, love and sacrifice. Written with honesty and an incredible amount of tenderness. The redemptive power of attachment – to both people and places – is at the heart of The Snow Goose, a touching novella by American writer Paul Gallico. Abandoning his pre-war career as a sports journalist for the New York Daily News, Gallico moved to the small Devon town of Salcombe and surrounded himself with a menagerie of cats and dogs, enthusiastically embarking on a new career as a writer of short stories. And the bleak, rugged splendour of the British coastline seeps into The Snow Goose, a book that received a sniffy response from some contemporary critics (“One must have a heart of stone not to read The Snow Goose without laughing”– Julian Symons) but became a firm favourite with a wartime British public who were understandably not averse to a dose of warm-hearted sentimentality. The Snow Goose's" expressionistic ending will make an emotionally developed person cry a river, I promise. I do not believe it contains any artificial sentiments - nothing unneeded, actually. Sincere and great.Booking our Summer Celebration Menu? Please provide the details of the occasion in the special requests box.

The Snow Geese is an odd little book. The author William Fiennes, becomes fascinated with snow geese while he is recuperating from a long illness at his family home, and decides to follow the geese as they migrate across America. Who would ever think that a short story could be so captivating? I shall never forget this book that brought me to tears in such short of time, unlike most books, This was truly a Christmas story although it was not meant to be.In 2003, John Harvey and The Puppet Lab in Edinburgh, toured the UK with a puppet-adaptation of the book. Arnold Baise is a computer programmer with Information Builders, a software development company in New York. His introduction to Ayn Rand and Objectivism came more than thirty years ago when he read The Fountainhead as a college student in South Africa, He has a particular interest in Rand's ideas on art and aesthetics. His admiration for The Snow Goose began more than twenty years ago when he heard a sound recording of a dramatization of the story, starring the late British-born actor Herbert Marshall.

Part historical fiction/part love story, it was well worth the re-read.
