"Tom Thorneval - Dream Merchant Extraordinaire" is an anti-fairytale that follows the misadventures of a very likable Dreammaker who stubbornly persists on making it big in the world of men. Unfortunately, such a bold intention for a Dreammaker has drawn the ire of Fate, and Tom is robbed of all his dreams shortly after setting out on his grand adventure. With his loyal (if slightly insane) stoat Wix, a devastated Tom battles on through one misfortune after another as he makes his way towards what he hopes is the Grand Goblin Fair, only to draw further and further away from it in the process.
