As the village of Pinrut nears deep freeze, the Breeze family, inventors of fantastical fans, faces the tyranny of Bartholomew Tullock. Travel, struggle, illness, and near defeat mark the Breezes' travails. Williams's writing is full of vivid descriptions of a snow-covered society and a unique fantasy world.
