At the edge of a cliff lies the wreck of a small sailboat. How
did it get there? Waves carried it up in a storm,o says an old
sailor. But is it possible that waves could ever go that high?
There is another story u the story of a boy and his desire to be
the greatest sailor, the story of a storm that carried the boy and
his boat to a place where boats glide like gulls high above the
water.
關於作者：
Considered to be one of the foremost authors and illustrators
of surrealistic fantasy for children, Chris Van Allsburg was born
in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1949. He received his B. F. A. at the
University of Michigan and his M. F. A. at the Rhode Island School
of Design. He married Lisa Morrison and currently teaches at the
Rhode Island School of Design. Van Allsburg''s work is highly
praised for the excellent artisanship of his illustrations, which
often have a surreal element. His first book, The Garden of Abdul
Gasazi 1979, concerning a lost dog found by a magician, and his
second book, Jumanji 1981, about a strange board game that comes
to life, brought him quick praise. Jumanji won the Caldecott Medal
in 1982. The Polar Express 1985, Van Allsburg''s most popular
book, deals with the idea that the ability to believe in things
beyond one''s experiences helps to keep a person young. It also won
a Caldecott Medal in 1986. Other books by Van Allsburg include The
Z was Zapped, and Just a Dream, a story about a boy who learns to
be ecological. Van Allsburg''s sculptures have also been exhibited
at many New York galleries.
