Summary: Delightful Memories of my English Childhood
Comment: This is a book loved by all who have had the pleasure of reading it. Uncle Lubin's persuit of the bag-bird through the pictures of W. Heath Robinson has a truely magical feel. I highly recommend this book for any child who may be at an age to enjoy the vivid imagery.
I share a 1902 copy with my sister - it originally came from my school-teacher, great-aunt's house. I remember well going there as a child along with all my cousins. I am now 38 years old. It was then, and still is a firm family favourite.
Fans of the BBC's Radio 4 programme 'Desert Island Disc's' would do no better than to take Uncle Lubin with them if given a choice of what book to be marooned with on desert island. However grim the circumstances this book would see you through!
As one writer of another review has put it the book is suitable for absolutely all ages. (3 to 100) +
I am so very happy that the book is still available.

Summary: Great, Fun Story for Kids aged 3 to 100
Comment: Follow Uncle Lubin through his various adventures, as he tries to retrieve his beloved Nephew Peter from the clutches of the wicked bag-bird. It has lovely old illustrations to help make the story. The kids will ask if you will read just one more chapter, pleeese.

My English Granny had a copy of the original 1902 book. She & my mother read it to us when we were kids. My brother now has the original (though I'd steal it if I got half a chance). When I found out it was in print, I sent copies to everyone in the family.
