Revisit this magical land in Dinotopia: Journey to Chandara. After many years of searching, artist James Gurney discovered in a used bookstore a never-before-seen journal by the nineteenth-century explorer Arthur Denison. Denison's previous travel accounts, published as Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time and Dinotopia: The World Beneath , introduced a lost island where dinosaurs and humans live together in peaceful interdependence. Now Professor Denison and his saurian companion, Bix, set out on a perilous journey to the forbidden empire of Chandara. When their personal invitation from the emperor goes missing, they are forced to cross the border penniless and in disguise. Every step of the way, Denison documents in exquisite detail the creatures, characters, and architecture he encounters: a village composed of three ships propped by on end, a fifty-foot-tall Brachiosaurus outfitted for fire fighting, an Allosaurus tending its hatchlings, young pilots air jousting on giant Pterosaurs, and much more. The land of Dinotopia is conjured by a brief, but vivid narrative and a beguiling variety of visuals, including maps, cutaway views, and mechanical diagrams. The lives of the humans are intertwined with those of the dinosaurs and ancient mammals, all of which are actual species portrayed according to the latest scientific research. By turns whimsical, dramatic, and philosophical, the journal radiates a life-affirming vision that will cast a new light on the overlooked wonders of our own world.

I missed this one when I was a kid so I was happy to get it for my son who was engrossed with the art and story. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Entertaining Book *by D***0 on December 26, 2025* Well illustrated and entertaining story. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like owning fine art! *by R***. on July 9, 2009* I have been a fan of Dinotopia for about 15 years. I wondered if Mr. Gurney would ever take us back there. He did with as much skill and depth as expected, perhaps a little more. This is a childrens book that appeals to this adult. As an painter, I can only admire and one day hope to produce something this great. If only I could paint a cloud like this man...This is a lavish book of fantasy paintings that could only be described as a treasure. Some tastes do not care for this style of painting-the Hudson Valley School. Its retro style florished before photography. Light and color captured every detail of the landscape. Now, in our HD world, this style is obsolete, right? Gurney's depiction of the creatures who actually lived on this planet, lets the viewer imagine what went over all of those bones that are found every year. Not only that, his "lost world" that is further documented. Children will devour this. Dinosaurs are fun, scary and in this book, loveable. The whole Dinotopia mythology is set in the mid 19th C. Perhaps the world had an unexplored appeal back then. We have satellites that document every corner of the planet now. Perhaps, this age of innocence works so well here because there are no more frontiers on the planet. Other than space, there are no more places to explore. That is why I love it so much. I finished it and was left wanting more. There are so many other villages and ruined temples left to document. The plot is not relevant here. The setting and the dinosaurs are the stars. You have to love Bix! Chandara is a perfect place to spend your vacation in. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dinotopia: Journey to Chandara - Dinotopia, The World Beneath: 20th Anniversary Edition (Calla Editions) - Dinotopia, First Flight: 20th Anniversary Edition (Calla Editions) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/36989474-dinotopia-journey-to-chandara](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/36989474-dinotopia-journey-to-chandara) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
