At the Back of the North Wind

A young boy named Diamond grows up in a cramped hay‑loft above a coach‑house, where the boards creak and the wind whistles through the gaps like an unseen visitor. The loft, warm in summer and shivering in the cold gusts of the north wind, becomes his world of quiet wonder, shared with an old horse named Old Diamond who sleeps beneath his makeshift bed. From the ordinary sounds of horses chewing hay, Diamond’s imagination takes flight, and he begins to wonder about the place “behind the north wind” that ancient tales speak of.

As he drifts between dream and reality, Diamond’s curiosity leads him to ask questions that blur the line between myth and his own everyday life. Simple adventures in the garden, the neighboring lawn, and the mysterious cathedral’s east window hint at a larger, almost magical landscape that lies just beyond the ordinary. Listeners will be drawn into a gentle, whimsical tale that celebrates childhood imagination and the quiet mysteries that whisper through a cold wind.
