The Snow Goose: A Story of Dunkirk - Paul Gallico | Soundstage Tales with BBC

Описание: Today's story: The Snow Goose: A Story of Dunkirk - Paul Gallico | Soundstage Tales with BBC

🎭 Welcome to Soundstage Tales, the place where powerful drama comes alive through sound, storytelling, and emotion. This is more than just an audio experience — it’s a journey into the heart of stories that echo the elegance and intensity of BBC drama, reimagined for today’s listeners.

Highlight:
The story is a poignant parable focusing on Philip Rhayader, a reclusive artist who lives alone in an abandoned lighthouse. Philip is physically deformed (a hunchback with a crippled hand) and has isolated himself from a society that shunned him. He finds solace in painting and maintaining a sanctuary for migratory birds. One day, a timid, impoverished young girl named Fritha brings him an injured Canadian Snow Goose (which Rhayader names "La Princesse Perdue," or The Lost Princess) that has been shot and blown off course. Philip and Fritha form a tentative, silent friendship forged by their shared love and care for the bird. The snow goose is nursed back to health, but instead of leaving for good, it returns to the lighthouse every year, as does Fritha, symbolizing the fragile, deepening bond between them. The story culminates in May 1940, when the British soldiers are trapped at Dunkirk. Rhayader, despite his disability, takes his small sailboat to join the civilian rescue effort. The snow goose follows his boat across the English Channel, its presence giving hope to the stranded men. Rhayader is killed by enemy fire while saving soldiers, but the legend of the hero and the goose is passed among the survivors. Years later, a grown Fritha, who had been left to guard the lighthouse, sees the snow goose return briefly before it departs for its final migration.
