The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm

ROBINSON, W. Heath / HUNTER, Norman

HUNTER, Norman The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm

The Bodley Head, 1933.

First edition. Original orange cloth, lettered in dark blue with a vignette to the upper cover in pictorial dustwrapper with a colour illustration by Heath Robinson to the upper cover. With a tipped in leaf to the front blank inscribed by the author, "To Jan Wilmer with best wishes Norman Hunter". Colour frontispiece and 75 line drawings by Heath Robinson. A fine copy in a fine dustwrapper, which is exceptionally clean and crisp with just the slightest wear to a couple of corners. An exemplary copy.

The first Professor Branestawm book. The book had its origin in stories written by Hunter for BBC's Children's Hour in 1933, concerning a brilliant but very absent minded inventor. These were collected into this book and William Heath Robinson, already known for his cartoon like drawings of improbable inventions, provided the illustrations.
Very rare in its dustwrapper, particularly one so well preserved.
