The Voyage of the Basset by James C. Christiansen
In this original story, Professor Aisling and his two
daughters Miranda and Cassandra travel in a magical ship captained by dwarves
to the mysterious land of Imagination. They meet such legendary characters as
Oberon and Titania, Medusa, and the Minotaur. Throughout all their adventures,
they learn to rely on each other and that By Believing One Sees. The ship is
loosely based on the HMS Beagle on which Darwin sailed in his trip to the Gallipolis
Islands.
The Voyage of the Unicorn (2001)
Because not many people would understand the reference to the
Basset, the name of the ship was changed to the Unicorn since that sounded more fantastical. The movie stayed
pretty close to the book, adding only a prophecy to give a reason for the trip
to Imagination. That the travelers will be known by a ship, a sword, and a
banner thus: Credendo Vidas by believing one sees!
