Rezensionen
Voyage of the Basset von James C. Christensen
I read this book aloud to my son when he was in kindergarten. It was a great way to wind him down and for us to share a story. He loved being read to and *I* enjoyed reading it to him. The pictures are lovely and break up the pages nicely. And they give lots of opportunity for conversation about the parts of stories that are outside the narrative.
Too much mixing of mythologies for me. Loved the pictures.

The Voyage of the Basset by James Christensen is a delightful and surprising illustrated fantasy. The recently bereft professor of mythology Algernon Aisling, irritated by his more practical colleagues derision of mythology, wishes for, and gets a magical ship to take him on a journey to collect mythological creatures. Taking along his 16 year old daughter Miranda and his 9 (and eleven months) year old daughter Cassandra, they encounter the king and queen of faeries, Oberon and Titania, and go on a series of adventures. Half way through, the story makes a surprising twist, at which point my interest increased. The plot becomes more and more complex, and ends with several surprising resolutions.
This is just the first of a series; I can hardly wait to read the others!… (mehr)
