Family elders Tammy Krum and Aksel Ellingboe soon find out it was Jesper and Klaus who delivered him the toy. The Krum boy's toy leads him to play with an Ellingboe girl, much to their clans’ outrage. Jesper capitalizes on the idea and asks Klaus if he can donate his toys Klaus agrees provided they operate at night and Jesper continues to deliver the toys in secret. Word of this event spreads to other children and they go to Jesper the next day, each believing they will receive a toy if they send Klaus a letter. Klaus forces Jesper to bring him to the house depicted in the drawing and then secretly delivers a toy to the boy inside, cheering him up. Terrified by Klaus' imposing appearance, Jesper flees, leaving behind a drawing he had found from one of Smeerensburg’s Krum children. There, he discovers a tall reclusive woodsman named Klaus, who has a house filled with handmade toys. While desperately searching for people to post letters to, Jesper finds an isolated house far outside the town. Two familial clans-the Ellingboes and the Krums-comprise nearly all of Smeerensburg's populace and are perpetually feuding, spending more time hating 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, northern island town of Smeerensburg with the task of posting 6,000 letters within a year. In 19th-century Norway, the Royal Postmaster General enrolls Jesper Johansen, his lazy, spoiled, self-centered son into a postman training academy hoping that it will reform him.
