16:29Now Playing"It was much more moving than I thought it was." - Raymond Briggs.
Raymond Briggs - the author and illustrator of such cherished family favourites as The Snowman, Father Christmas and Fungus the Bogeyman - discusses his latest work, the apocalyptic graphic novel, When The Wind Blows. It follows Jim and Hilda Bloggs, as they prepare for an imminent nuclear attack on England, using British Government-issued literature like Protect and Survive.
Raymond is currently working on a radio adaptation of When The Wind Blows for BBC Radio 4, with the voices of Peter Sallis and Brenda Bruce, directed by John Tydeman. The process of adapting his book for radio has led him to better appreciate how touching his story is.
