This story follows the adventures of the young Bill and his cousins, Boadicea and Chad. In the process of their adventures they meet many strange people and help solve their unique problems with the use of fantastic machines devised by Bill. The story also formed the basis of a 1980's UK TV series. N° de ref. del artículo 3609
