The Zoom Trilogy

The three picture books collected in this single volume tell the story
of Zoom, a cat in search of his mysterious, seafaring Uncle Roy. His
search leads him to his uncle’s friend Maria, a woman whose house holds
not only the ocean (as we discover in Zoom at Sea, which The Toronto Star called “the most completely satisfying Canadian picture
book ever produced”), but also, somewhere up near the attic, the North
Pole (as we learn in Zoom Away), and, behind the books in the
library, Egypt and its Nile (Zoom Upstream). Tim Wynne-Jones’
gentle, whimsical stories are enhanced by the enchanting black-and-white
illustrations, by Eric Beddows, that complement each page of text. A
lasting treasure for the family library. With a Preface by James
Mustich, Jr.
