TRAVELS FOR TWO: STORIES AND LIES FROM MY CHILDHOOD
Stephane Poulin
Reviewed by Rebecca Raven
Volume 20 Number 2
Following last year's My Mother's Loves, Stephane Poulin has created another fanciful story described by the author as "stories and lies from my childhood." Travels for Two is a quick-paced tale that includes all the elements of a great adventure story. After win�ning a vacation for two to cruise the tropics, our narrator and his family find themselves parachuting from an air�plane, marooned on a desert island, captured by pirates, and, finally, rescued on the high sea. The humour of the story is infectious, and is carried through in the illustra�tions. The jubilant children, the harried mother and the wickedly funny pirates all contribute to the sense of fun and adventure. Highly recommended for adventur�ous spirits.
