The Snow Goose is the third studio album by the band Camel, released in 1975. The critical success of "The White Rider" suite inspired the group to write more novel-inspired conceptual suites.

Paul William Gallico was an American novelist and short story and sports writer. Many of his works were adapted for motion pictures. He is perhaps best remembered for The Snow Goose, his most critically successful book, for the novel The Poseidon Adventure, primarily through the 1972 film adaptation, and for four novels about the beloved character of Mrs. Harris.
