Synopsis

A children's book about a young boy (David) who encounters the legendary Phoenix while mountain climbing. The Phoenix (a large, eagle-like bird) after initially being startled by David while hiding from an aggressive scientist befriends him and offers to educate him on a number of fantastic subjects. Their adventures to visit other mythical places and beings while developing a strategy to cope with the scientist is highly entertaining and a compelling read for story-telling to young children. Humorous, with a message of friendship and loyalty, this is a timeless story that will appeal to most any child.
