Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a very fortunate reprint of a book that technology has rendered obsolete. The main character, Timmy, is simply someone for the reader to follow on a trip across the Pacific in a flying boat. This craft may be wholly fantastic to children of today, who may leap the ocean in a single (very long day) whereas Timmy's China Clipper must visit several islands on the way.
The book's drawings, both black-and-white and color, describe the flying craft itself as well as the islands that children of today skip over: Guam, Wake Island, Midway, as well as Manila, Hong Kong and Hawai'i. Timmy has a few adventures which add interest, but this is not a plot-driven book; rather it is to be read and enjoyed for the journey. Timmy and his point of view are nearly as antique as hobbits, yet may be almost as interesting for their bygonity.
