Irene valientemente se enfrenta a una nevada para entregar el traje que su madre ha creado para la Duquesa. Aunque se encuentra con un peligro terrible, al final todo vale la pena.
"Despite a raging snowstorm, Irene, a dressmaker's daughter, offers to deliver the duchess's newly finished ball gown...With sure writing and well-composed, riveting art, Steig keeps readers with Irene every step of the long way."
Starred, Booklist
"One of Steig's simplest stories [and] one of his best, a tale that has the force of a legend."
