Books with author Norma Hunter

Welcome to the bizarre and wonderful world of Professor Branestawm, a man who hasn't time to think about normal things, his head being too full of brilliant ideas and wild inventions which never seem to work out quite as planned. First published in 1933 and illustrated by W Heath Robinson, the tales of Branestawm and his cock-eyed ingenuity have lost none of their charm. This is a reprint of his very first adventures.

Full of fantastical places like Kumdown Upwardz, Gadzooks and Urgburg-under-Ug, eccentric kings and queens, lessons in kindness, peace and even royal thriftiness, wrapped up in more than a smattering of nonsense, The Dribblesome Teapots brings together ten modern fairy tales to be enjoyed by generation after generation of young readers.Including original illustrations by Fritz Wegner, this is a charming classic of the future.

Eccentric, absent-minded inventor Professor Branestawm embarks on a series of adventures with his friend Colonel Dedshott. Various machines are invented: a time travel-machine, a device to capture and tie up burglars, and a spring-cleaning machine. Inevitably, something goes wrong and Professor Branestawm is again in a pickle, exasperating his housekeeper Mrs. Flittersnoop and delighting listeners.
