Synopsis He's back again, the lovable Professor with his five pairs of spectacles, his pockets full of all manner of things, and of course, his wonderfully bizarre inventions. Norman Hunter's irrepressible humour packs every page and the illustrations (by the well-known cartoonist, George Adamson) entirely capture the eccentricity of the Professor and the hilarity of his incredible adventures. |
