"Voyage of the Basset, richly illustrated and lovingly conceived
by James
C.Christensen... 'is certain to do just that for generations of
young
readers. In only 168 pages we learn about dwarves, ogres, trolls,
gremlins,
faeries, pixies, a dragon, a Manticore, a sphinx, Medusa, a dryad,
mermaids, a sea monster, harpies, a gryphon, a unicorn, a Minotaur,
and
lots more. They are our traveling companions, and not just boring
one
-dimensional mythical creations. During the voyage, the Professor
and
his daughters learn valuable lessons about themselves and the
role magic
and imagination plays in their lives.... Professor Ainsley obtains
the
answer to the question, 'What good are a lot of old myths?' He
will tell
the skeptics, 'They are a window on the world, just as science
is. The
wisdom of stories and legends is that they give us another way
to
understand ourselves and the place we inhabit.' Voyage of the
Basset is a
rollicking adventure yarn sure to warm the readers of all ages."
