Biography

A prominent and masterful London physiologist, well-known in scientific circles for his extraordinary imagination and his brutal directness. When a journalist obtained access to his laboratory in the capacity of laboratory-assistant, with the deliberate intention of making sensational exposures; on the day of the publication of these exposures, a wretched dog, flayed and otherwise mutilated, escaped from Moreau's house. The doctor was howled out of the country, and took up residence on his own island.

OBSERVATION

From 'The Island of Doctor Moreau' :

'He was a powerfully-built man, as I have said, with a fine forehead and rather heavy features; but his eyes had that odd drooping of the skin above the lids which often comes with advancing years, and the fall of his heavy mouth at the corners gave him an expression of pugnacious resolution'.

Toby Twirl

For a time in the early Fifties Toby Twirl's challenge to Rupert The Bear for the children's adventure crown was almost successful. Alas, it was not to be and the twirly one's fame faded. The charming and wide-ranging stories were written by Sheila Hodgetts and the brilliant illustrations were by E. Jeffrey.
