Many of us best know of this book from one of its two film adaptations: Disney's 1963 "The Incredible Journey" or the 1993 update called "Homeward Bound." Originally, this book by Scottish author Sheila Bunford was billed as a children's novel, although that was not what she intended it to be. The story, inspired by a real-life incident, details the adventure of three house pets who cross a wilderness to find the family they love. Basically, it's the story of "Lassie," but with three animals instead of one.
