Fourteen rip-roaringly funny stories, with the Professor inventing radio fire-alarms, taking part in a motor-race, developing an expanding house and exploring the Diddituptite Islands. All tremendously funny, outrageous language and a sense of the absurd. There are dated references here and there (1930's big band leader Henry Hall getting a name-check, for example), and the first story has a couple of un-PC references which I had to edit out in the telling.
