Synopsis
Gently absurd and delightfully entertaining, this rhyming tale of a curious king on a singular search evokes the playful tradition of Edward Lear.
The king of Quizzical IslandHad a most inquisitive mind.
He said, "if I sail to the edge of the world,
I wonder what I'll find?" When his wily old Wizard and Whispering Witches can't answer the king's question, he makes up his quizzical mind to find out for himself. And so, in a ship made of wood from the Tea-Bag Tree -- and despite the fears of his faithful that he'll fall off the edge -- the king sets off on a wondrous adventure across a topsy-turvy world. Fresh, funny, and imaginative black-and-white drawings by David McKee illustrate Gordon Snell's rhythmic text in a tale that begs to be read aloud.

Review
There is only one way to prove the earth is round and the King takes a spade and gets digging . . . A rhythmical text gallops along, past elegant, intriguing pictures. Great to read aloud. * Carousel *
