John Boynton Priestley (1894-1984) was bom in the English county of Yorkshire, and knew early on that he wanted to become a writer. When World War I broke out, Priestley joined the army, and escaped death on a number of occasions. After the war, he gained a degree from Cambridge University, and then moved to London, where he worked as a freelance writer. During World War II, he presented a weekly radio programme, which became immensely popular. Priestley wrote many successful articles, essays, novels and plays, but is best remembered for his play An Inspector Calls. Priestley loved snow and expressed a desire to live in a country where it often snowed.
What careers did Priestley have in his lifetime
Priestly joined the army in World War I before going on to study at Cambridge University. After graduation, he worked as a freelance writer and radio presenter.

Read for enjoyment
Find out the writing methods that the author uses to describe the snow and the changes of landscape.
The dining-room window had been transformed into a lovely Japanese print.
The little plum tree outside, with the faintly flushed snow lining its branches and artfully disposed along its trunk, stood in full sunlight.
It was as if our kindly countryside, close to the very heart of England,had been turned into a cruel grassland. At any moment, it seemed, a body of horsemen might be seen breaking out from the black trees, so many weapons might be heard and some distant spot of snow be reddened.
But the snow is falling heavily, in great soft flakes, so that you can hardly see across the shallow valley, and the roofs are thick and the trees all bending, and the weathercock of the village church, still to be seen through the grey loaded air, has become some creature out of Hans Andersen.
