THE MONSTER FIRE BRIGADE

About the Book

This is a story about the humorous antics and mishaps that take place when the firemen of the Monster Fire Brigade respond to a call to put out a fire. The setting for the story is the Victorian Era reflected by the costumes, uniforms, fire fighting equipment, train and architecture true to the time period around 1870. Some artistic license is taken in order to accommodate the story line and rhyme of the poetry. For instance, the telephone shown didn’t exist in this form until later on.
