Even if the intriguing title doesn’t tease your grey cells a bit, then the cheery teacup on the cover will certainly draw you into an unlikely and, sometimes, mysterious journey of adventure and discovery. The mystique is compelling but then you learn it is but a ‘teacup in a storm.’ :-)

The illustrations don’t give you a clue as to how the tale ends too… Hmmm…

Excerpt

They went on a very long voyage together.

Through the stormy seas they sailed.

On wild and foaming waves they rode.

They went practically around the world.
