The Adventures Of Anatole
David McPhail,Nancy Willard
Newbery Medal-winning author Nancy Willard’s trilogy of adventure tales, now in one volume. Children won’t be able to put down these stories of the journeys of a boy and his orange cat, Plumpet.
Anatole has a knack for seeking and finding adventure, often with Plumpet, his orange cat, who is accustomed to ghost trains, amnesiac soldiers, flying horses, and wallpaper portals, just a few of the enchantments encountered along the way. From his perilous search for wild fennel to cure his Grandmother’s asthma, to his high-stakes game of checkers to save his uncle from a wizard’s evil spell, Anatole’s missions will keep young readers turning the pages of this omnibus edition of Newbery Medal-winning author Nancy Willard’s trilogy of fantasy tales- Sailing to Cythera, The Island of the Grass King, and Uncle Terrible. David McPhail’s pen and ink illustrations throughout are beautifully detailed engagements with Willard’s world of make believe. Anatole may be small but he is determined to right the wrongs he finds in each of the lands he enters. Whether kindness or evil will prevail is a matter of suspense but Anatole is always on the side of the light.
