DESCRIPTION:
"Barnaby Jones was a boy who had wanted something for years and years. He wanted, more than anything, to be able to fly like a bird."
Thus begins the adventures of a young boy who, after making a glider that won't glide and a helicopter that would only go down not up (and many more attempts), finally gets one that works. Using "one hockey stick, an electric fan, his mother's umbrella and an extension cord" he finally gets something that will fly, and he is off to great adventures, rescuing an old woman from a burning building, a hunter from a group of hungry lions, and more!
"Jolly" Roger Bradfield's other books include Pickle-Chiffon Pie, A Good Knight for Dragons, Giants Come in Different Sizes and There's an Elephant in the Bathtub.
