The story of the ship: "...that the bed would gradually become a boat that would cradle, lift, and transport him to worlds other..." Lily H.

Every night before he fell asleep he was vaguely aware that the bed would gradually become a boat that would cradle, lift, and transport him to worlds other than the one he knew.   So he looked forward every night with a sense of adventure to where he might go, both in time and space.

He had not much interest, or patience, for "Harry Potter" or "Lord of the Rings."

His own dreams were vastly more fascinating, to him at least, than anything he had seen at the cineplex.
