In a crowded caf, following the latest in science and modern thinking, two men meet to discuss a new fad sweeping society: Christmas. Mr. Tomnby is very uncertain about this "Crisp-moss" celebration, but he does think that a well-hosted holiday will impress the beautiful Mrs. Endeavor. His friend, Mr. Fine, explains the process, wherein an individual may receive a pair of mittens concealed in a box of decorative paper and, even if the individual has no need for the aforementioned mittens, must pretend to be delighted by this acknowledged act of generosity. To Mr. Tomnby, it seems quite absurd and most assuredly against science and modern thinking. This, however, isn't just a simple conversation; it's the start of a very complicated adventure. In this fantastic steampunk story, Mr. Tomnby ventures to Over There, a strange place that completely eschews modern thinking for tradition and ceremony. To Mr. Tomnby, Over There is just as absurd as Christmas, but he may learn that both have their own surprises. Author Timothy Holter Bruckner has crafted a spell-binding tale for the whole family. Read it with your children and relatives this holiday season and go on this magical adventure together!
