Thus begins a series of adventures, recounted engagingly by Mrs. Hudson herself - adventures and investigations which take her across the country, from the Midlands to Sydenham, from Eastbourne to Edinburgh. Her warmth and down-to-earth practicality are brought to bear on a range of strange and startling crimes that occasionally lead even Mrs. Hudson herself into mortal danger.

It brings to life and array of irresistible characters—the awesomely self-confident Tom, his best buddy Huck Finn, indulgent Aunt Polly, and the lovely, beguiling Becky—as well as such unforgettable incidents as whitewashing a fence, swearing an oath in blood, and getting lost in a dark and labyrinthine cave...

"Would-bc astronauts have to be educated people and good sportsmen; healthy, strong, and tough. Of course, you read books on space, and this book is also concerned with space. But this is not just a good reading, nor is it just a textbook. It is meant to be read as a make-it book and think-it book. You will make simple models and devices to perform fascinating “space” experiments. Who knows, maybe these simple projects will eventually lead you to the ramp of a spaceship. Good luck, dear friends, and a happy journey!"
