David and the Phoenix is story written back in the early 50's for
the Weekly Reader subscribers about a young boy and his desire to
explore the world outside and in doing so found a friend to help
him dream bigger dreams. David has no greater wish than to explore
the mountains behind his new home in North Carolina and as he does
he finds a wonder never dreamed of, the Phoenix. The Phoenix
introduces David to an endless list of his friends from mythology
and in the process opens David's eyes to the wide world both the
unseen world and seen world. In the unseen world David and the
Phoenix share many adventures all the while a scientist is trying
to capture the Phoenix to prove to the world that the bird is real.
The phoenix takes David on educational field trips to meet sea
monsters, fauns and other creatures. Plus they hatch a hysterical
plot to scare off an over eager scientist from the phoenix's trail.
David learns some valuable lessons about life, one is that nothing
remains the same as one grows up. The other is... well perhaps you
should read the book yourself and find your own lessons within the
pages. A well written story, David and the Phoenix has no
particular time setting so that it could very well be placed in
current time. It brings back to me memories of times when life was
much simpler, more pleasant and without the problems we as adults
face. It's a story of childhood and the dreams that children of
every age share and which we all to soon leave behind. Of course,
there is the traditional fiery death of the phoenix in the story.
So, a tissue might be needed.
