Eight-year-old Noah's problems seem easier to deal with if he doesn't think about them. So he runs away, taking a path through the forest. He soon comes across a "toy" shop, full of the most amazing toys, and brimming with the most wonderful magic. And here Noah meets a very unusual toymaker. Illustrations.
