This book contains beautifully detailed illustrations by one of my favorite artists. David Delamare wrote and illustrated this magical story of London a long, long time ago when Old Winston Smith, a player of the violin and a credible violinist read the headline loudly proclaiming that "The Moon Has Gone Away!" And, as Winston searched the night sky, there was no quarter, waxing or waning, full moon.

Winston solicited the help of hi good friend the lion, Sebatian K. Curruso. Building a ship to sail into the air, they journeyed high in the sky. Studying maps and using a compass, higher and higher they traveled. Their adventure included a tumble by Winston who sailed through the blackness. Landing on a star, his friend Sebastian found a rope to pull him safely through the milky way.

Finding an arch, the entered and found the moon. Playing a song from his violin, the moon smiled and lit up the sky.
And, the moon shimmered and burst forth.
Thus is the tale of Sebastian and Winston who henceforth gazed upon the lovely moon.
