About this title

From the Publisher:

“Far and few, far and few, Are the lands were the Jumblies live; Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a sieve.” Join the lively and adventurous Jumblies as they set sail on a stormy day in, of all things, a sieve! With a pea–green sail and a tobacco–pipe mast, they travel to mysterious lands on a magical voyage of discovery.
