  • Legend of the Golden Snail Graeme Base
    Reading Notes Legend of the Golden Snail Graeme Base SYNOPSIS: ‘Snailing ship, rise and shine, Hoist your sails and trim them fine, Taste once more the salty brine, For with this spell I make you mine!’ Inspired by the tale of a magical Golden Snail banished to the Ends of the Earth by a Grand Enchanter, a young boy called Wilbur sets out on a daring voyage to find the legendary snail and claim it as his own. Along the way he encounters many strange creatures and overcomes many challenges. Finally he reaches the Ends of the Earth but what he finds there is not quite as he imagined… Graeme Base, creator of classics Animalia, The Eleventh Hour and Uno’s Garden, takes readers on a stunning magical journey through a land of vivid imagination featuring a bush that grows butterflies, a crab as big as an island, a boatload of earwig pirates – and a giant snail with billowing sails! WRITING STYLE This magical tale has a very traditional format, which begins with the main protagonist sharing his fantasies with the reader and then drawing the reader into a journey through his imagination. The narrative is third person, as if the reader is being guided through the journey as a bystander – a comforting position away from danger, yet totally immersed in the adventure. As usual, Graeme’s story runs wild with crazy beasts and plants to stimulate children’s imaginations and this is superbly juxtaposed against the parable-like aspects of the story such as helping others in need and the karmic nature of good deeds – a recognised universal theme of many books.
