About the book (from the dust jacket)
The twelve adventures of the brave and good Uncle Lubin stand out among the ageless classics of English children’s books. 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. With the unique and brilliant illustrations of W. Heath Robinson, Uncle Lubin becomes a real, endearing, and never-to-be-forgotten character.
