Mrs. Krum: [ambushing Klaus the night of delivery] Well now, isn't this convenient?
Klaus: What are you doing here?
Mrs. Krum: Why, we were just thinking... don't our children also deserve a present?
Mr. Ellingboe: [gesturing at the sack of toys] And lookee here - you've already got her favorite thing in the world! A nice, big piñata!
Alva: Hey, you put one hand on those toys, and I swear...!
Klaus: [restraining her] Stand back! All right, do what you will with the toys. But no one gets hurt!
Mrs. Krum: Suits us just fine. How long until children go back to the old ways once there are no toys to bribe them with? How long until they turn against each other? And how long until the grownups follow?

When Jesper distinguishes himself as the Postal Academy's worst student, he is sent to Smeerensburg, a small village located on an icy island above the Arctic Circle, where grumpy inhabitants barely exchange words, let alone letters. Jesper is about to give up and abandon his duty as a postman when he meets local teacher Alva and Klaus, a mysterious carpenter who lives alone in a cabin full of handmade toys.
