A Voyage in the Clouds

Matthew Olshan
Illustrated by Sophie Blackall 20016

Goodness the illustrations are wonderful!  But of course I've come to expect nothing less from Sophie Blackall.  The subject matter is fascinating- the first balloon flight across the English channel with a Frenchman and Englishman on board.  Olshan takes some creative liberties (the French bulldog and English bulldog are a nice touch) but the story is a fun look at an often overlooked part of history.
