Details

Everything on Medford and Prudy's island has a purpose and a proper name, and Useless items are forbidden. The two friends discover an artifact depicting a strange, goat-like figure-an object so Useless it is Unnameable. Prudy knows her duty: she should report the object or destroy it. Medford's decision to hide the beautiful object places a strain on their friendship. Then a living Goatman turns up at Medford's house and uncovers Medford's other secret: he's been carving Unnameable objects. The tempest accompanying the Goatman's appearance grips the entire town, forcing Prudy and the others to question their strictly utilitarian beliefs.

Medford knows that the small items he carves are Unnameables, but he cannot help making them. Medford hopes he can keep his hobby a secret forever, but he is not counting on the arrival of the Goatman, a smelly half man, half goat whose ability to call up the wind blows open doors to secrets people in Town would rather keep hidden.
