Full of whimsical charm,The Adventures of Uncle Lubinpresents one of literature's most guileless and affable characters. With his comically flopping hat and baggy striped stockings, gentle, serious Uncle Lubin is left in charge of his beloved nephew, Peter. One fateful day, a great bag-bird swoops down while Uncle Lubin is innocently napping and whisks the child away. Lubin sets out on a series of twelve adventures, searching high and low for little Peter.

Read- ers will be enchanted by this revival, whose style and illustrations recall an era when children's books (and their characters) were delightful and inventive, playful and imaginative, and even a little outrageous.
