Meet the most eccentric inventor ever in THE INCREDIBLE ADVENTURES OF PROFESSOR BRANESTAWM by Norman Hunter.
The wonderfully eccentric Professor Branestawm is always inventing weird and wonderful things, such as a devise to capture burglars, and a spring-cleaning machine! But housekeeper Mrs Flittersnoop is at her wit's end as the Professor's inventions always make life far more complicated than it was before!
With the wonderfully inventive original illustrations throughout by W. Heath Robinson, Professor Branestawm is as funny as he was when he first appeared in A Puffin Story Book in 1947.
