Narrative As Books The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm

'It¹s brilliant that a book written in 1933 can still make a modern kid laugh like a drain' CHARLIE HIGSON

Still one of the immortals of children's literature - Professor Branestawm's continues to amuse generations of young readers.

The wonderfully nutty, fabulously entertaining mishaps of Professor Branestawm. He's madly sane and cleverly dotty. Professor Branestawm is the most absent-minded inventor you'll ever meet and no matter how hard he tries his brilliant ideas never seem to keep him out of crazy scrapes.

Weigh Up Out Of Books The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm

Miss Harrison, my temporary teacher in Junior 3 read this to us at the end of the day and I loved every minute of her readings of the whacky professor and his five pairs of spectacles and his coat done up with safety pins and his great inventions. I think Heath Robinson (hang on I'll check - yes) did the illustrations and Wikipedia have reminded me that the Professor invented a clock that didn't need winding up (this was the 30s)- 'but the omission of an important component ("I forgot to put a

Loved this... with several exceptions. The first chapter "The Professor Invents A Machine" has the Professor & his friend Colonel Dedshott killing off people for a bit of sport. Then there is a cracking racist slur in Chapter 11 "Colonel Branestawm and Professor Dedshott", as well as some other sexist & racist comments in Chapters 12 & 13 ("The Professor Moves House" & "Pancake Day At Great Pagwell").But don't let that turn you away! As a read aloud, this is fantastic as these

Classic dated humour enjoyable still for a big kid like me... Remember the TV programme back in the day.

Funny stories about the escapades of Professor Branestawn who is an ingenious but incompetent inventor, his housekeeper Mrs Flittersnoop and his best friend Colonel Deadshott. Cleverly written with lots of puns and silly scenes and a laugh every few seconds. The illustrations by Heath Robinson are wonderful. My original copy of this book isn't an edition available on Goodreads, it's from the early 1930's and is rapidly falling to pieces.

This was never an author or series that I read when I was young, and now I feel that I was missing out. I loved the bumbling professor, whose mad inventions never quite work out as he planned and who is forever losing his glasses. The writing is funny and very clever, with some great use of 'sound effects' to create the image of each adventure in your head. A great read that made me smile and put me in a good mood.

I read this when I was about 7, so there's not much I remember about it now, some 40-odd years later. However, I do remember it so it obviously made a favourable impression on me at the time. Or maybe it's where I was reading it that makes it memorable, as I have a very strong sense of place about this book. I was staying with my Nana at the time and I recall reading it in my makeshift bed, which was a broken lilo at her bedside. Snuggled under a blanket with her pet chihuahua, Mecksie, the

These stories possess a lovely logic whereby all the professor's inventions become Frankenstein monsters taking the Professor and Colonel Dedshott to places they would rather not go: I still have my battered old copy from the Sixties which I treasure as my favourite book from junior school days. Norman Hunter has certainly influenced my own writing, particularly my short stories where processes of degeneration abound. I wouldn't say Professor Branestawm is likely to greatly enrich anyone's
