A beautiful new reissue of one of Quentin Blake"s first picture books with stunning illustrations that will whisk children away on an adventure far from home. Jack and Nancy love to hear the sailors tell adventures of far away, but have never experienced any firsthand. One day, as they are walking on the cliffs, it starts to rain and Jack opens his umbrella. But then the wind picks up and suddenly they are blown away to an exotic island. They explore for a bit, and even meet a parrot, but there are no sign of any ships to help them go back. How on earth will they get home?
