Sheila Burnford es celebrada por sus evocadoras narrativas de viajes de animales y aventuras en la naturaleza, a menudo ambientadas en el paisaje canadiense. Su estilo de escritura se caracteriza por un agudo sentido del detalle y una cualidad inmersiva que atrae al lector al mundo natural. Si bien su obra puede ser clasificada como literatura infantil, Burnford exploró frecuentemente temas más profundos y las complejas realidades del entorno natural. Sus experiencias en el Ártico le permitieron capturar tanto la belleza fugaz como las duras verdades de las regiones remotas.
'Only one thing was clear and certain - that at all costs he was going home, home to his own beloved master...'The Hunter children must go abroad for the summer, so they reluctantly leave their three pets in the care of a friend.

Instinct told them that the way home lay to the west. And so the doughty young Labrador retriever, the roguish bull terrier and the indomitable Siamese set out through the Canadian wilderness. Separately, they would soon have died. But, together, the three house pets faced starvation, exposure, and wild forest animals to make their way home to the family they love. The Incredible Journey is one of the great children's stories of all time--and has been popular ever since its debut in 1961.
