Synopsis
Tales of Bong Tree Island is an entertaining and informative illustrated historical fantasy book for people of all ages who enjoy Edward Lear's poem The Owl and The Pussycat, but have always wanted to know more. World famous explorer, Martine Bates of Gloucester, MA, is contacted by the Queen of England and invited to lead an expedition to locate the land where the Bong Trees grow. British subjects and legends, Barney and Caterina (aka The Owl and The Pussycat), had departed Ramsgate, England on December 31, 1870 in search of a place where they could be free to love and marry without fear of interspecies relationship discrimination. They had sailed for a year and a day and finally reached the land where Bong Trees grow and interspecies marriage is accepted, but no one had ever heard from them again or been able to locate the place where they had settled. A good friend of the Royal Family, explorer and photographer, Alpheus Pomfry, had traveled in search of Bong Tree Island in 1908, but never returned and was presumed lost at sea. With the help of an old map created by Alpheus Pomfry that Martine Bates finds in the attic of his grandnephew, Pip Pomfry, and a pod of dolphins that help lead the way, after a year and a day, Martine reaches Bong Tree Island, which is hidden in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle. There she meets the owlpusses (or owlcats as some prefer to be called), descendents of Barney and Caterina, and other inhabitants of Bong Tree Island. She conducts interviews with the descendants and learns the history and genealogy of Barney and Caterina, and all about bong trees, Bong Tree Island and some of the rare inhabitants unique to the island, such as hedgepiggywigs, hummingbunnybirds, painted manaturtles, Assiri (aquatic cave dwelling fairies) and more. Tales of Bong Tree Island is a chronicle of Martine's travel adventures and compilation of the interviews she conducted while on Bong Tree Island, along with the great wisdom and lessons that could only be imparted by creatures such as owlpusses and hedgepiggywigs.

    Another wonderful transaction with this company! I believe this is my 3rd purchase with multiple books in each order and I’ve yet to be disappointed. Books arrived as described - great used condition. Packaging wasn’t great but it’s free shipping and they made it to me intact, so no complaints. The price is unbeatable. Will definitely continue to purchase from them! Highly recommend.

    For some reason, the Postal Tracking stopped after the label was created, but I RECEIVED the book I ordered on August 2nd which was within the 7/31 to 8/6 projected delivery range. The sale price was lower than the competition why I chose this Seller. It was well packed, and arrived in the described condition. I would do business, again, with this Seller without hesitation. Thumbs UP!
