Description: HERE in this story of Mr. Pecket, the Bronx carpenter who built a sailboat in his back yard, is that beautiful blend of fantasy, irony, and humaneness that is Mr. Nathan's alone. To be sure, it was not a very substantial boat: in fact it might have sunk had it been placed in water. But it was complete with mast and sail, a cabin, an anchor and windlass, and belaying pins, and when Mr. Pecket puttered around in it at night he could forget all the pains and worries of his monotonous existence. Unfortunately, his wife was a realist. She had made up her mind to sell the boat to a butcher who wanted to convert it into a hamburger stand. What happened then, the night the storm came up, begins the story of the enchanted voyage. The boat did not go very far, get far enough fur Mr. Pecket to have many charming adventures and exciting experiences. Later, when it was all over, he had much to wonder about; for life and people, and even his wife, seemed strangely different from what he had thought they were.
