About This Book

Three children are swept from their flooded home into a whimsical voyage in pursuit of a wondrous dodo. Their journey carries them through strange gardens, onion fields and fantastical courts where they encounter eccentric sages, sea monarchs, prehistoric birds and curious inventors. Episodes include polar adventures, a Crystal Palace visit, balloon and train escapades, and a dramatic mock execution, all linked by playful episodic scenes. The narrative favors imaginative set pieces, light satire and childlike wonder as the companions befriend odd creatures, face marvels and at last witness the dodo’s song and departure.
