[[File:BranestawmTHtn.jpg|thumb|200px|right|''Professor Branestawm's Treasure Hunt'', the second book in the series, shown here in its 1966 edition with jacket drawing by [[George Worsley Adamson|George Adamson]]]]
The first book featuring Professor Branestawm was ''The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm'', first published in 1933 and illustrated by [[W. Heath Robinson]]. Heath Robinson was famous for his rickety contraptions, and the illustrations were a perfect foil to the outlandish plots of these short stories, each picture typically featuring the professor's unfeasibly large forehead. The original book contained a section called ''seventy-six illustrations by W. Heath Robinson'', each with evocative titles such as ''A telescope of his own invention'' or ''With nothing on at all but a big smile'' (referring to a picture of an ''extra specially young'' professor).

The sequel was ''Professor Branestawm's Treasure Hunt'', published 1937. The first edition was illustrated by [[James Arnold (author & artist)|James Arnold]], with [[George Worsley Adamson|George Adamson]] illustrating the 1966 reissue.<ref name="George W.
