Publisher Description
Discovered in the ruins of the Benedictine Abbey of Solo Virtutae in the Pyrenees, buried in a pile of desiccated, grimy, and not too healthy looking books, a folio was uncovered - a folio which presented, as a series of adventures, the life of Fritz Edmund Von, who was to attain narrow immortality as Professor Crypto. This lightly edited version of those adventures brings to light an amazing person who traveled the world in sputtering biplanes, knitted dirigibles, and exploding camels. Engineer, barrister, consulting detective - the professor could turn a trick at whatever he put his hand to and turn a phrase to whatever he put his mind to. His observations on life, love, the universe, and sausage casings sing through this collection of twenty-two nifty tales, you’ll come to understand how many hands make light work and truly understand why, if it feels good, do it! In fact, you’ll discover how many of our pithy sayings, commonly batted around in joyful conversation, found their birth in the Professor’s brain.
The Life and Times Of Professor Crypto is where Monty Python smashes into Steampunk and any idea you ever had that alternate worlds were possible, well, this may support it! Take a whirly-gig ride through the Professor’s life, experience the puns, the fun, and the freedom of roaring from the quaint village of Stilton-on-Hedgehog to the burning sands of Abou-bou and the Gobi Desert. Your brainstem will never be the same.
