description: The three picture books collected in this single volume tell the storyof Zoom, a cat in search of his mysterious, seafaring Uncle Roy. Hissearch leads him to his uncle's friend Maria, a woman whose house holdsnot only the ocean (as we discover in Zoom at Sea, which The Toronto Star called "the most completely satisfying Canadian picturebook ever produced"), but also, somewhere up near the attic, the NorthPole (as we learn in Zoom Away), and, behind the books in thelibrary, Egypt and its Nile (Zoom Upstream). Tim Wynne-Jones'gentle, whimsical stories are enhanced by the enchanting black-and-whiteillustrations, by Eric Beddows, that complement each page of text. Alasting treasure for the family library. With a Preface by JamesMustich, Jr.
