This is not a saccharine, rosy world of toys. In the midst of storm and sleet, these toys face everything from dirt and difficulty to natural dangers to actual death. The goal of their quest? A toy shop that they discover, toward the end, is called Wondersmith. (One might note that a synonym would be Wonder Worker.)
