It features Heath Robinsons hilarious drawings of many typically elaborate contraptions such as the Combined Telescopic Spaderake for digging and raking at the same time, the Inebriate Roller for making wobbly garden paths and the Osoeezi Slugsticker. While some are patently ridiculous ? a lawn is de-thistled and resown with the help of a barrel of grass seed strapped onto a small donkey ? others are before their time, such as a special pump that can divert your bathwater into your garden hose, a contraption that is not wildly dissimilar to gadgets on the market today.* A NEAR VG+ copy with some age and wear but no dust jacket.* 1938-01-01. n.
