Heath Robinson, as he was more commonly known, was an English cartoonist and illustrator, best known for drawings of ridiculously complicated machines, made to achieve and solve deceptively simple problems. Such was (and is) his fame, that the term ‘Heath Robinson’ entered the English vernacular during the First World War, as a description of any unnecessarily complex and implausible contrivance of which there were many. Originally published in 1912 this book was televised as a series during the 1980s. The Heath Robinson Museum is in Pinner, N.W. London, and is dedicated to showcasing the work of this world-renowned artist, illustrator, humorist and social commentator and is well worth a visit when you’re next in London. =========== KEYWORDS/TAGS: Bill the Minder, W Heath Robinson, Illustrations, King Of Troy, Ancient Mariner, seafarer, Triplets, Aunt, Galladia, Doctor, Respectable, Gentleman, Sicilian, Char-Woman, Interval, Soldier, Wild Man, Musician, Lost, Grocer, Merchant, Wife, Camp-Follower, Siege Of Troy, End, Boadicea, Chad, whacky, unique, fantastic, fantasy, children’s stories, childrens book, folklore, fairy tale, myth, legends, tales, fables, television series,
