Synopsis
"Mr. Gimbal's Incredible Invention follows Danny, a bright and curious boy, and his neighbor, Mr. Archibald Gimbal, who is an inventor. Since becoming friends, they have acquired two Sussex hens named Sherlock and Watson, who roam freely around the garden and can travel through gaps in space and time in search of lost belongings. There is also a cat that divides its time between the two houses, going by the name of Spigot in one and Fluffy in the other. Unbeknownst to them all, they are accompanied by a ghost, Mr. Casimir, who used to live in Gimbal's house many years ago and was in love with his neighbor, Miss Alice. He now observes events from his position next to an apricot tree in the garden." (source: wordswithoutborders.org)
