About This Item
London: The Book Club, 1961. Book Club edition. Creasing and small tears to edges of unclipped dustwrapper, also quite a lot of foxing. Minor bumping to spine ends and corners of green boards, some foxing to outer pages, pink paint marks to top edge of some pages, but otherwise a good tight copy of this hard-cover book. Originally published in 1960, the story of an elderly bull terrier, a young labrador and a Siamese cat who travel home across a remote part of Canada. The 1963 Disney film of the same name was based on the story. 152pp, 10 full-page b&w drawings.. Book Club (BCE/BOMC). Hard Cover. Good/Good. Illus. by Burger, Carl. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

The Incredible Journey really is an incredible book. It is a simple story but Sheila Burnford conveys so much beauty into a mere 145 pages. The friendship of Luath, Bodger and Tao and their amazing trek to return home will touch your heart.
