What to expect

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 us.

Critics Review

Martin [Jarvis] also reads The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm by Norman Hunter. Unbelievably, these tales were first published in 1933 u2013 and sound as if theyu2019d been written today. Branestawm is the epitome of the mad professor, inventing a machine that gets you where you want to go before youu2019ve even left, a spring cleaning machine that doesnu2019t quite work as intended, and all sorts of other things that will have 7u201311-year-olds hugging themselves with glee. Beautifully appropriate music, a Naxos signature, adds to the pleasure.
