A rite of passage, an adventure saga, and a redemption tale wrapped into one. "Snow and Oakham" is a story told across five continents: paying visit to a world of orphans and villains, heroes and slaves, cannibals and saints - all seen through the eyes of two brothers thrust into an adventure for the ages. When they are told that their birthright is buried in the Wild West End orphans Henry Snow and Jack Oakham set out to discover where they came from. And thus begins a journey to answer questions at the heart of every man. A saga about fathers and sons and the cost of forgiveness, "The Early Tales of Snow and Oakham is, '... An important, sprawling work with a lion's share of tenderness. It is proof that rip-roaring adventure is alive and well.'"

"A sprawling novel encompassing mystery, magic and myth, religion, rejuvenation and rebirth, growing up, growing old and dying ... with sudden and unexpected explosions of action. It owes much to pulp Westerns, surrealism, utopian fantasies and the bizarrely tortured character-driven tales of John Irving... (Chavanne) clearly wants his work to be approached as serious literature, and there's no reason it shouldn't be... A highly compelling novel.... An exhaustively ambitious work."
