While The Snowman can be described only as a fantasy, it carries with it a ring of realism. Young women do not habitually fall in love with snowmen, but they do often fall in love with ideas, and very frequently fall in love as a gesture.
In this case Cherry Rampion, daughter of Mr. Rampion, the butcher, falls in love with her snowman for a mixture of both reasons. She has quarrelled with her Fred, assistant in the shop, who accuses her of being cold and heartless. Walking angrily home late one night she encounters a snowman, and hearing his fears that he may shortly thaw into a trickle of dirty water, takes him up in shovelfuls and re-erects him in the refrigerator of the butcher's shop. Here she visits him nightly, reads to him works of Arctic exploration, and finally kills him with kisses.
Fred accepts her strange assertion with calm, and all comes right in a pool of melted snow.

Ralph Letts , Canadian-born musician, formed the Aeolian Orchestra solely for broadcasting in September, 1957. Previously Letts had been a solo broadcaster, and was incidentally one of the two Golden Voices in The Golden Toy at the Coliseum in 1934. As a youngster he sang as a choirboy in Lincoln Cathedral, left when he was fourteen, and a year later won the Dr. Yorke Trotter Scholarship at the London Organ School. He subsequently studied at the Royal Academy of Music, where he was runner-up for the Mendelssohn Scholarship for composition. After war service he took up orchestral playing, became musical director for some of a large group of hotels, and, returning later to London, became organist in The Miracle at the Lyceum Theatre in 1932.
