This was quite an eye-opening book for me as a child. David, a young boy, meets a Phoenix -- an immortal bird from myth which lives for 500 years then is reborn. The Phoenix takes David to several mythological worlds, where David (and the young reader) gains knowledge of himself and the world of imagination. They also have to defeat "The Scientist" who has been trying to capture the Phoenix for experimentation. It can be quite inspiring to begin to see the world from the perspective of hundreds of years instead of from the mere handful of years that a child has lived so far.
