Publisher's Note Instinct told them that the way home lay to the west. And so the doughty young Labrador retriever, the roguish bull terrier and the indomitable Siamese set out through the Canadian wilderness. Separately, they would soon have died. But, together, the three house pets faced starvation, exposure, and wild forest animals to make their way home to the family they love. The Incredible Journey is one of the great children's stories of all time--and has been popular ever since its debut in 1961.

Instinct told them the way home lay to the west, and so the brave young Labrador retriever, the roguish bull terrier and the indomitable Siamese cat set out through the Canadian wilderness, risking starvation, exposure and wild animal attack, to make their way home to the family they love.
