One of the things we associate with Christmas is snow, despite the fact most of us rarely get it. In fact, with climate change, we can’t be sure that snow will be part of the British climate.

Charlie English is the author of The Snow Tourist a search for the world’s purest deepest snowfall. Julia Eccleshare is Children’s Fiction Editor on The Guardian. Both talked to Faith Lawrence about the pleasure they get from reading about snow and from experiencing it for the first time.
