"William Hiccup," said Bertrand, "you are evidently suffering from THE CLOVE-HITCH VIRUS!" "Well, I' ll be a popped-lipped wrong-hipped wobbity-wiggled-wobbled wonky-legged son-of-a-peg-legged clove-hitching post!" When Bertrand the beetle and Wally, a woodland wasp with a waspy mind, set off on a journey through the wood of Lower Tinklewigglebottom to Bertrand' s good friend Professor Clapperstein' s Research Institute, their voyage is abound with incidents and meetings of other insect acquaintances. A notable earwig scientist, inventor and discoverer, Professor Clapperstein has made a discovery from a human landfill site that will take the group on an adventure through time and space. . . But will the threat of the Clove-Hitch Virus Crisis follow them to this new world of aliens and medieval knights? As Bertrand the Beetle himself would say: "A Book as Bouncy, Bountiful and Brilliant as a King-Cut Kindled Candle. "
