About this ebook
Jack Swan Adventures - The Time Travel Disasters.
This is the second in the series of 'Ridiculous Comedy' short stories about the misadventures of Salisbury, England's talking swan. The ten short stories deal in a humorous way with many of today's pressing problems. From corporate corruption and genetically modified food, to the distinct possibility of cosmic catastrophe from a rogue asteroid. The book comes with 14, colour, full page, photo-composition illustrations, that leave the reader no doubt that Jack Swan, is no ordinary talking fowl. The time travel stories deal with the Mark Twain's account of two lost steamers in Nicaragua to Albert Einstein's secretive trip to Panama in 1933. There is also the farcical story of a performance of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake at London's Royal Albert Hall, except with a real lake and real swans - this just screams that a disaster will happen and Jack Swan never disappoints. Many historic facts are woven into the tales and many Jack Swan readers feel these weird story's inevitably must become a hillarious movie. As the British comedy team Monty Python used to say: "And now for something completely different."
