I think the inked illustrations and word layout are much more important and interesting than the storyline. This edition, from 1972, notes that it was originally published in 1902.
As the book jacket notes, "In his pursuit of little Peter, the ingenious Uncle Lubin encounters the wicked bag-bird, builds an airship, meets the Vammadopper, goes to the land of Chilblains, invents a submarine, and contends with a sea-serpent, a dragon, a Rajah, and a very tall cocoa-nut tree."

A very interesting selection: the first part contains book illustrations, which are quite attractive (though one isn't sure of the context of the cartoons). The second part is more familiar territory, a mixture of Rube Goldberg and Dr. Seuss, containing a lot of the machines that made a "Heath Robinson" a common phrase in England. Indeed, comparisons to Goldberg are inevitable, given that Robinson also uses similar ideas in presentation. Speaking of presentation, there are some faults in this book -- for obscure editorial reasons, certain drawings are presented in "negative" format, which rather spoils the line work. If you're not familiar with Heath Robinson's work, you might be a little lost, here. Still, a nice collection. Recommended, but really for cartoon lovers.… (altro)
