There, he meets a reclusive woodsman named Klaus, who has a house filled with handmade toys. While desperately searching for people to post letters, Jesper finds an isolated dwelling outside of the town. Upon arrival, it is explained to Jesper by sarcastic ferryman Mogens, and bitter teacher-turned-fishmonger Alva, that the town's two familial clans-the Ellingboes and the Krums-comprise nearly all of the populace and are perpetually at war, spending more time fighting each other than writing letters. If Jesper fails, he will be cut off from the family's fortune. Jesper deliberately underperforms, forcing his father to finally send him to the distant island town of Smeerensburg with the task of posting six-thousand letters within a year. Jesper Johansson is the lazy, spoiled son of the Royal Postmaster General, who has enrolled Jesper into his postman training academy hoping that it will reform him.
