AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'On August 20, a group of young explorers were charged with a dangerous mission. They were to travel across wild country to deliver a valuable parcel.

'The journey would be punishing. It would test the resolve of the brave young explorers. Most of all, it would provide us all with a pair of unlikely heroes to admire and remember for many years to come.

'This is their story.

'The Great Expedition is a delightful parody about five children attempting to cross the park to deliver cake to Grandma.' (Publication summary)
