Childrens
Archer B. Helmsley has grown up in a house full of oddities
and treasures collected by his grandparents, the famous
explorers. He knows every nook and cranny. He knows them all
too well. After all, ever since his grandparents went
missing on an iceberg, his mother barely lets him leave the
house. Archer B. Helmsley longs for adventure. Grand adventures,
with parachutes and exotic sunsets and interesting
characters. But how can he have an adventure when he can't
leave his house? It helps that he has friends like Adélaïde L. Belmont, who
must have had many adventures since she ended up with a
wooden leg. (Perhaps a crocodile ate it. Perhaps not.) And
Oliver Glub. Oliver will worry about all the details (so
that Archer doesn't have to). And so Archer, Adélaïde, and Oliver make a plan. A plan to
get out of the house, out of their town entirely. It's a
good plan. Well, it's not bad, anyway. But nothing goes quite as they expect.
