About this book
A mysterious model ship becomes the means by which four children can travel beyond the ordinary world. Their journeys carry them across time and place, into ancient Egypt, medieval England and a realm touched by Norse mythology. Wonder and danger mingle as the children discover that this extraordinary vessel is more than a toy. Hilda Lewis's classic fantasy is illustrated by Nora Lavrin. This 1965 Oxford Children's Library reprint retains its illustrated dust jacket.
