Wurtherington, Diary, art by Tenda Spencer. Tenda spent several months perfecting this lovely piece of art. Ali Baba and a trio of ruffians jumped off their steeds and ran up to the door. Ali Baba grabbed the jewelry out of her hand. "Your jewelry or your life, fair lass." "Please, Ali Baba�let us be!" said Mina "En Garde you dastardly villains!" said Cedric as he flew about the room slashing this way and that. We began a furious battle with Ali Baba and his men. The towering Ali Baba shouted, "HOLD IT! THAT IS ENOUGH OF THIS! I will spare your lives for a kiss from such a fair maiden such as you." Mina said, "Very well, Ali Baba. I will give you my kiss and then you must be on your way." Ali Baba swept her into his massive arm...

The Wurtherington Diary: Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves: Art by Tenda Spencer We were hurled to the bottom of the ocean and then high up into the air. We pitched over the side of a mile high waterfall and back into the water. We all cried, "Help!" and figured we were about to drown. Water was pouring in from the walls and we were sinking at an alarming rate. I peered out the window and a hungry whale was headed straight for us, apparently happy to find some unexpected tidbits to chew on. Zeke and Cedric took one look out the window and shivered in terror. "We are about to be lunch!" they shouted as the whale took a leap into the air and lurched upon us!

The Wurtherington Diary: Tammy meets Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves: Art by Tenda Spencer. Cedric said, "It's a thingamajig, mate!" Zeke said, "Oh yeah, smarty-pants—what does it do?" I wanted to know. I said, "Dear, Cedric—do tell us." I figured he had no idea what it was (how could he?) and was about to make up something. "It makes pancakes, mate. That spiral thing up there turns around and these wheels here run over the skillet and squashes the dough. The head chef sits up there looking through the window and them he warms up the oven. Then they squash it." He pulled out a toothpick. He crossed his arms and picked his teeth as though he were an expert on the thingamajig. I said, "It has wings like a bird. Maybe it can fly to...

Wurtherington, Diary, art by Duy Truong. This is our second bedtime scene and Duy Truong has created another marvelous piece of art that is simply stunning. In this scene, the reader can see that Polly, the loveable vulture, has joined the group. Duy has gone all out with this drawing (as she always does) and has all the little touches that make this painting magical. It is bedtime now. I have Zeke and Cedric tucked in doll-size beds in opposite corners of the room. I discovered that they tend to keep each other awake when they are too close together. Polly stood outside the window looking so forlorn all by herself; it was clear to me she wanted a sleeping place with us. I told her she could sleep at the foot of my bed and I would ma...

Art by Tenda Spencer ( from China)......The Wurtherington Diary: Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves: By Tenda Spencer. "Over here, mates!" he called to us. We stepped through the door and saw that we were floating in the sky with a gigantic submarine hovering over our heads. I imagined that something terrifying dwelt inside it and would come after us. Zeke and Cedric flew up to the deck while Alfred and I stood on the dock. Zeke stomped around on the deck as though he were an admiral. He said, "Yoo-hoo, is anyone home?" He began knocking on the hull. "Yoo-hoo!"

The Wurtherington Diary: Tammy meets Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves: Art by Tenda Spencer. An enormous arched doorway appeared at the base and the scorpion took us inside. It closed behind us as if by magic and then we could feel the structure descending deep within the Earth. We stopped moving downward and then the door opened up to reveal a long corridor that led us even further beneath the surface. The narrow tunnel opened up to reveal an underground city of immense proportions. There was a vast labyrinth of tunnels and pathways with elves scurrying all about. Strange creatures were everywhere going this way and that. Scorpions appeared to be a part of it all as they were busy hauling carts and carrying rocks while elves sat in smal...

Wurtherington, Diary, art by Tenda Spencer Fantasy I said, "Open Sesame!" as we flew out of the cave of Ali Baba and toward the palace. We raced across the desert landscape that soon turned to emerald green as we passed over an oasis lush with bubbling springs and leafy palms. Tall minarets sprouted like grass over a splendid city that sprawled endlessly toward the horizon. We quickly found the palace that stood majestically near the center. Mina pointed the way to a balcony high up near the peak. We landed on a cool stone-floored foyer with bubbling fountains, metal tables, and scarlet parasols.

Wurtherington, Diary, art by Tenda Spencer. Tenda has captured a mystical ambiance with this dark and forbidden painting. An enormous arched doorway appeared at the base and the scorpion took us inside. It closed behind us as if by magic and then we could feel the structure descending deep within the Earth. We stopped moving downward and then the door opened up to reveal a long corridor that led us even further beneath the surface. We passed through a sacred burial ground where the dead were encased in glasslike coffins. The narrow tunnel opened up to reveal an underground city of immense proportions. There was a vast labyrinth of tunnels and pathways with elves scurrying all about. Strange creatures were everywhere--going this way and...

Dear Diary, A three day holiday was declared by the king and queen. The next morning, Mansa Musa entered the city with his entourage. Ali Baba provided his prized steeds to lead the event. It was a magnificent spectacle worthy of a great king. The parade of North Africans stretched for miles and flowers were thrown to him from the balconies as they passed by. He tossed gold coins to the cheering crowds who would never forget the day that became a legend for the next millennium. Behind him followed the elves mounted on the enormous scorpions. While Mansa Musa would return to Timbuktu, the elves would make a home here and live quite happily ever after. Ali Baba and his men were last to enter the city. No longer would they be called thi...

Tammy and the California Gold Rush: Art by Duy Truong. We decided to do a test run and soon we were all flying around Kira. We found ourselves over Sakuna, the home of the Kakuna elves. I could see they were happy to see us flying overhead and decided to land in the center of the village. Chief Wanakuka and his wife, Lanacua ran down the balcony to greet us. They were amazed to see all of us flying upon Polly. She was a hit among the Kakuna and a large crowd gathered to admire her. Polly, of course, loved every minute of it. Lanacua said, "You must stay and have a luncheon with us." Zeke and Cedric were hungry ( they loved to eat all the time) and we agreed to stay. Picnic tables were set in the middle of the square and we found oursel...

Tammy Meets Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. A wave of water swept over us. Seconds later we found ourselves settled in the palace garden in Capira where apple blossom drifted lazily in a cool autumn breeze.
