Anoraknophobia

Meer over het boek

Wallace's Ping Pong O'Matic Automated Home Leisure System has hiccuped badly during field trials. Then, when the pigeons next door ruin Gromit's washing, man and dog face a hefty bill. So when they see an invitation to attend an Invention Convention -- with a big cash prize for the best invention -- they have no choice but to enter. So begins Anoraknophobia, which brings the pair face-to-eyepatch with the sinister Herr Doktor Count Baron Napoleon von Strudel, inventor of the Acme Utility Anorak, and his scary, spider-taming wife, Queenie. The so-called von Strudels seem strangely familiar to Wallace, however. And our heroes soon find themselves entangled in Operation S.P.A.R.R.O.W, a diabolically evil plan to brainwash the cream of British brainpower -- with serious implications for the future of table tennis and other indoor sports.
