From the back cover-

Ever ride the wind? A cabman's son in the slums of London did. And he was never the same agaiin.

Come with him now as he is lifted from his bed and blown through a hole in the coachhouse roof. His legs float under him; his head grows dizzy with the swiftness of the ride.

Soon he is in the midst of the clouds, whirling with the speed of sound to the back of the North Wind.
