Journeys from fiction drawn on the real world

David Butler · 1942 · overland

The 1942 entry, often the fans' favourite, opens with the pair shipwrecked and washed ashore in North Africa. A talking camel, a desert kingdom, a beautiful princess, and a prophecy that her first husband is doomed to die young all conspire against them as they break the fourth wall and sing their way toward Morocco.
