The Story of Zephyr: A Christmas Story

In the quiet stillness of a lakeside summer camp, a young boy named Edwy spends his days dreaming of a loyal companion for Christmas. He watches the elegant English setter that belongs to his friend Bruno, yearning for a dog of his own while his mother gently reminds him that such a pet would be too hard to keep in their bustling world. When a clever friend suggests a different kind of animal, Edwy’s hope begins to shift, opening the door to a new kind of affection.

Beyond his wishes, Edwy is known as “the Little Trapper,” a curious child who studies every book on wildlife and builds gentle snares to observe the forest’s smallest residents. His compassionate captures—musk‑rats, dormice, and squirrels—let him learn the rhythms of nature and the responsibility of caring for living creatures. As the camp settles into the warm days of June, Edwy’s inventive spirit and tender heart set the stage for a Christmas that may finally bring the companionship he longs for.
