What goes round and round,flies,floats,
provides good meals and draws large crowds
at the seaside? Yes,it's Professor Branestawm's answer to the Post Office Tower - the Great Pagwell revolving restaurant.This is just one of the astounding revolutionary ideas to be found
in the present collection of stories about
this well-known absent-minded Professor.
As usual the results of his inventions cause revolutions of one kind or another too.It could be a full-scale battle,as on
the occasion when a tank invented by the Professor makes a single-handed attack on the army,or it could be simply his friend
Colonel Dedshott's head going round and round in amazement at the sight of a portable car park or automatic Christmas decorations.All in all it means the return
of plenty of fun for Professor Branestawm's fans.
