Diamond, a child of Victorian London, sleeps above the stable. When he hears a voice talking to him through a crack in the wall, a new world of mystery and meaning opens up to him. North Wind, the beautiful woman who can be either tiny or immense, sweeps him up in her arms and carries him over the city’s dark streets. Their adventures together reveal the glimmer of love and wonder shining even within the grim reality of poverty and despair.
