Short story collection
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Snowbound: The Record of a Theatrical Touring Party (1908) is a collection of linked short stories by Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula.[1][2] The book is set in rural Scotland, where a party of travelling actors, trapped in a train by snow, tell each other stories to pass the time.[3] The book is influenced by Stoker's years in the service of Sir Henry Irving and an incident during the Lyceum Company's 1904 North American tour, when members were trapped in a snowbound train.[4]
