I thoroughly enjoyed these stories.Clever, with interesting twists and a bit of adventure, and for the reviewer who complained about the Orangutan, well, consider the era. Penny novels, etc. They had to have something to get readers excited.  And an orangutan was exotic, unfamiliar to readers of the time, so capable of pretty much any darn thing. Made the story fun, I thought.I actually got rather fond of the crabby, misshapen, brainy but lonely hero in the long run, as did his sidekick.  Only thing is, I kept envisioning one of our latter day "aliens"  or even Pinky's "Brain" with all the talk about his big skull. But that's OK, it kind of injected a bit of whimsy into the read.
