Illustrated by
Greg Clarke.
Fernie and his nameless narrator friend take a free-verse and freely associative trip around the world in this companion to Fearless Fernie. The sightseeing and related high jinks are frequently goofy; the book is an authentic boy's-eye view of daydreamed foreign adventure and the rewards of best-friendship. Scattered pen-and-ink drawings honor both the humor and amity of the poems.
