The Snowman has long stood as a landmark British animation, merging a Christmas tale with a symphonic visual. Briggs' creation remains a defining cultural icon.
The Raymond Briggs personal library, donated by his estate, goes on sale at Oxfam’s Hove bookshop and online. The collection features works by Schulz, Shepard and others, along with wartime and domestic-life volumes. The sale follows Briggs’s death at 88 in 2022.
