His dried fruits missing, forest creature Thomas despairs about making a wintercake for Winter's Eve. Bird Lucy overhears a "vile beast" say he found the fruit--then witnesses the stranger returning them. After baking a wintercake for the (now) "noble chap," Thomas and Lucy undertake a dark, perilous journey and find him, alone and sad. Descriptive language and dry humor shine in this warm-hearted winter story. Perkins's earth-toned illustrations are rich in detail, patterns, and textures.
