Benjamin Lundy crossed oceans under sail in the late nineteenth century & over one hundred years later Derek Lundy, his great-great nephew, has re-created that journey. In The Way of a Ship he places Benjamin on board the Beara Head with a community of fellow seamen as they perform the exhausting & dangerous work of sailing a square-rigger across the Atlantic & round Cape Horn.

On his journey from his war-torn village, Muri the cat travels through Yugoslavia, Austria, Germany, Lithuania, Finland & Sweden, meeting on the way an unlikely
- but helpful
- group of creatures, from a sperm whale to a paraplegic mountaineer & a wandering Jew. This is no children`s book, but a witty exploration of the human condition through the people & objects Muri meets on his travels. Somewhere in the mix, Boyashov introduces us to two eminent professors, one from Cambridge, one from Geneva, who take opposite views on the question: Is man in a perpetual & aimless state of wandering or must he always have a goal in mind? The book is intended to be read on two levels
- as a narrated story of real (fictional) characters & as an allegory. It has been compared with ` Sophie`s World`.
