Read and re-read them in Dutch.
Captain Cobwebb by Gordon Boshell consists of eleven children's books. Main characters in the books are brothers David and Toby Green and their Uncle Septimus Cobwebb, who is called Captain Cobwebb. As a young man Septimus decided to spend a night sitting in a fairy ring which resulted in him going off to live with the fairies as well as becoming invisible. The books usually begin with the boys getting bored, for example during a rainy day or lying in bed when ill. They then call on their Uncle to send them on an adventure, usually to a magical land far, far away. After their first adventure ("Captain Cobwebb") Uncle Septimus rewards the boys with a magical blue spot on their hand which they can touch to request an adventure. The books have a number of different themes such as pirates and cowboys-and-indians. As well as a typical range of heroic characters and talking animals the stories include more unusual characters, creatures and situations which make the books very memorable.
