"As the zoologist bemoans the intrusion of alien species into the isolation of some island life, so the folk-lorist regrets that the isolation of the professional sailor has been invaded and well-nigh destroyed by the incredulous land-lubber." So the author begins, pointing to the necessity of carefully preserving authentic tales from those who lived on the seas. He notes that there are five basic classes of uncanny ship stories, "reward ships, punishment ships, specters, ships of the death voyage, and devil ships," providing an illustrative tale of each, followed by analysis of each theme, looking at similar stories from around the world.

Society of Illustrators, Dilys Evans Founder's Award Winner A New York Times Best Book of 2020 A Wall Street Journal Best Book of 2020 PRAISE "Electrifying. Extraordinary. Enigmatic and gorgeous." —The Wall Street Journal "An epic dream captured in superbly meticulous detail." —Shaun Tan "Danger, magic, surprise and awe abound in this masterly, wordless debut." —The New York Times "I love Van den Ende's passion." —Brian Selznick, New York Times Book Review STARRED REVIEWS ★ "Marvelously engrossing—a triumph." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review ★ "Remarkable. Absolutely sui generis." —Booklist, starred review Without a word, The Wanderer presents one little paper boat's journey across the ocean, past reefs and between icebergs, through schools of fish, swaying water plants, and terrifying sea monsters. The little boat is all alone, and while its aloneness gives it the chance to wonder at the fairy-tale world above and below the waves, that also means it must save itself when it storms. And so it does. Readers young and old will find the strength and inspiration in this quietly powerful story about growing, learning, and life's ups and downs.
