The Giant Under the Snow
'A very long time ago there was a struggle between great powers that was never properly ended. But now it has been resumed, and you have become involved in the final act.'
On a school trip, Jonk Winters finds herself alone, and wanders into the dark temple of trees. She stumbles across a mound that strangely resembles a hand and, falling between the fingers, finds a glinting object ornately designed. The hand belongs to the Green Man, stirred now from centuries of rest to complete his epic journey across the landscape. Riding the giant is the warlord whose quest is to recapture his long-lost power. The golden buckle is the key to victory. Aided by the gift of flight, Jonk and her friends, determine to defeat the warlord and his sinister allies – at any cost...

John Gordon
John (Jack) William Gordon (19 November 1925 – 20 November 2017) was an English writer of young-adult supernatural fiction. He wrote sixteen fantasy novels including The Giant Under the Snow, four short story collections, over fifty short stories, and a teenage memoir.
Most of John Gordon's novels are in the supernatural fantasy and horror genres and feature teenagers in the central roles. The adventures are often set in The Fens, an environment John found mysterious and inspirational in his own adolescence, and contain elements East Anglian folklore (such as the doom dog – Black Shuck). His work has been compared to that of the acclaimed ghost novelist M.R. James. Indeed The House on the Brink (1970) is regarded by admirers as one of the greatest novels in the Jamesian Tradition.
