Oliver

Illustrated by Eivind Gulliksen.

Flying dolphins, mechanical trousers powered by steam engines, double air balloons – there are plenty of ways to get around even if you can’t walk. The problem arises when the balloons get stuck in the trees. And when the mechanical trousers emit so much smoke that it looks as though (Oliver?) lives in a chimney. As for the dolphins, they can’t live in the bath tub forever, can they?
This is the first story about the world’s first tame wheelchair.
