The History of the Snowman

The History of the Snowman: From the Ice Age to the Flea Market recounts Bob Eckstein's harrowing quest to solve the enormous mystery surrounding the first snowman.

By travelling back in time, this book sheds new light on its enigmatic past - beginning in the present-day, an era in which the snowman reigns as King of Kitsch, and ending in the Dark Ages with the creation of the first snowman.

Nothing like this exists to date; it's a Christmas book that's cool and mature, but still appeals to traditionalists.
