The Story of Mr. Sommer

A boy finds a peaceful village life disturbed by the frequent sight of the eccentric Mr Sommer. From early in the morning till late at night, Mr Sommer is out walking, marching through the landscape like a man possessed, with his empty rucksack and his walking stick. What is the point of Mr Sommer's endless walks? Where do his wanderings take him? And why does he seem so anxious? Nobody seems to know. As the boy goes about his days, tree-climbing, bicycling and going to school, Mr Sommer's starnge compulsion becomes ever more of a mystery.
