Critics Review
-
Martin [Jarvis] also reads The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm by Norman Hunter. Unbelievably, these tales were first published in 1933 – and sound as if they’d been written today. Branestawm is the epitome of the mad professor, inventing a machine that gets you where you want to go before you’ve even left, a spring cleaning machine that doesn’t quite work as intended, and all sorts of other things that will have 7–11-year-olds hugging themselves with glee. Beautifully appropriate music, a Naxos signature, adds to the pleasure.
