Join one of the strangest families ever on an exciting adventure as it determinedly searches for journey's end. Need brings a strange combination of animals together. A cat, dog and family of mice join forces to find a home and end to hunger. On their way others who aid the search join them and together they discover that even opposites and enemies can live work and succeed together. A reviewer called it "A fast-paced well conceived story, an enchanting journey." This will become a modern classic. What starts as a plan to stop Brownie (a dog) stealing Clarence's (a cat) food goes awry, but a family of mice rescues the pair. These are no ordinary mice. Their leader has a vision and plan. Soon an unlikely family forms, and they set off in search of paradise - journey's end. They face peril and danger, but get help from unusual new friends too. Quickly learning the value of co-operation they become a family and set off in search of the land of plenty where the mouse leader was born. Their adventures involve comedy and fright as they battle elements, and the nature of some other creatures as they search for journey's end. Some unlikely additions swell the family and help in the search. The search for journey's end 'came' to Evelyn Wood over a period of a week over 25 years ago. His wife discovered the handwritten manuscript in a suitcase, typed it and urged him to illustrate and publish the book. The story reflects his strong belief that acceptance of differences leads to strength and progress.
