(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Bill Slavin. While the misguided British authorities try to return Princess Purnah to boarding school, a criminal plots to kidnap her friends Robert and Emmaline. Averting such encroachments upon their freedom leads the three heroes, along with Aunt Lucy, Lal Singh, and a newly acquired robotic butler, on another series of madcap adventures, complete with more ill-designed aeronautic vehicles. Droll black-and-white illustrations highlight the shenanigans.
