ANIMAL ADVENTURES

About the Book

This is an adventure story told by Goosey, a goofy, gorgeous golden Labrador doggie who lives with me and my husband, Peter, in the Cayman Islands in the Western Caribbean. Goosey tells us about his life and travels to Sri Lanka on a mystery magic carpet ride to collect a turkey called Beauty (a speckled blue-and-gray turkey), who was my brother Duncan’s pet sixty years ago in Sri Lanka, when he was ten years old. Goosey and Beauty continue on the magic carpet ride to Jamaica to visit Miss Patsy, who lived with us in the Cayman Islands when Goosey was a small puppy. Goosey and Beauty continue to the Cayman Islands, and Beauty returns to Sri Lanka. They have both travelled round the world on the magic carpet and had a wonderful trip.
