Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 8 Up–Three Oxford men, brought in for questioning in a London professor's death in 1917, become companions on a voyage through the Archipelago of Dreams where they vanquish a usurper and restore the rightful king, proving themselves worthy to be Caretakers of the Imagination of the World. The three men are Jack (C. S. Lewis), John (J. R. R. Tolkien), and Charles (Williams–a lesser known writer of fantasy thrillers who belonged to the same Oxford literary discussion group, the Inklings). Their identities aren't revealed until the end, along with the premise that their journey became the wellspring for their subsequent fiction. This twist accounts for the extensive use of material from their various imaginations. Readers who have not begun with the publisher's blurb might find the bulk of the story tediously derivative, but those with extensive reading background in both fantasies and mythology may be keen to identify the allusions. The pen-and-ink illustrations, also allusive, include the playing-card royalty of Lewis Carroll and knights that might have been drawn by Howard Pyle. The story itself is unconvincing. The three strangers are quickly identified as friends, although they have shared nothing more than an after-interrogation drink and apparent abduction. Although John is Caretaker Principia and the apparent focus, only Jack's character is developed enough to change, and youth seems to be the only reason for his flirtation with the forces of evil. It is a series of lucky encounters that sets them on their quest and solves the problems that arise. Only for fans of fan fiction.–Kathleen Isaacs, Towson University, MD

From AudioFile

Worlds beyond worlds. Centuries beyond centuries. Islands and kingdoms lost and found. Battles with creatures of unknown origins. Mapless maps in the IMAGINARIUM GEOGRAPHICA. Dragons that might destroy you--or further your quest. Storytelling and myth, adventure and mystery converge in this fantasy. Three strangers come together in 1917 and are forever changed. James Langton rises to the challenge of narrating this imaginative work. His intimate tone beckons the listener and provides comfort during unsettling moments. His British accent lends authenticity. Each of the caretakers of the IMAGINARIUM GEOGRAPHICA--John, Charles, and Jack--has a distinct personality, as does each creature--from Windigo and Winter King to Shadowborn in the Archipelago of Dreams.
