The House That Sailed Away by Laurence Hutchins, Pat Hutchins

I read this book as a child, and never since have I read something so completely DIFFERENT - nothing could ever match what this author has thought up.

The characters are true to life - ugly, annoying, yet human. A fantastic read.

When a biblical rainstorm uproots Morgan’s home and whisks it off onto the ocean, Morgan, Mother, Father, baby, Tailcat and the drink-happy Grandmother sail the Pacific and encounter pirates, cannibals and the Bruces. I wasn’t as keen as this as the other works of Hutchins although I did gain a guilty pleasure in enjoying the banter between Father and Grandmother. Lots here to tickle children.
