The sensational story of Art and Myrtle Mumby's Dreadful and Terrifying Victorian Space Adventure!
Arthur (Art) Mumsby and his irritating sister Myrtle live with their father Revd Marmaduke Mumsby in the huge and rambling house, Larklight, travelling through space on a remote orbit far beyond the moon. One ordinary sort of morning they receive a correspondence informing them that a gentleman is on his way to visit, a Mr Webster. Visitors to Larklight are rare if not unique, and a frenzy of preparation ensues. But it is the wrong sort of preparation, as they discover when their guest arrives, and a Dreadful and Terrifying (and marvellous) adventure begins.
It takes them to the furthest reaches of known space, as well as to London, from where the entire Empire - including the American colonies and Her Majesty's Extraterrestrial Possessions, Mars, Jupiter and the Moon - is governed. (And where Myrtle will, to her mortification, sit on Queen Victoria).
