The Amazing Adventures of Jimmy Crikey

Jimmy is the alien who chose to live on Earth after his Intergalactic ambassador parents died when they were overtaken by Earth’s coughs and colds. He was left in the care of a kindly ‘Aunt’ Ethel. Endowed with a bright red mop of unruly hair, big blue eyes, a small snub nose, pointed ears and enormous feet, the neighbourhood children ridiculed Jimmy, until he decided to run away to find a place where he could fit in. In his midnight flight through the forest he stumbled into the underground world of Roombelow. He rescued the town from the curse of the sleeping spell cast by Matilda the Witch and was ‘adopted’ by Mr McDonald, the Mayor. Matilda and Gemma, the little lady who lives at the bottom of the well, but doesn’t know how she got there, become Jimmy’s close friends.

When rain threatens a flood, with the help of The Great White Owl, Jimmy locates the sleeping Weather Man, who turns off the rain.

When the well dries up, Jimmy and Gemma search beneath Roombelow. A giant eel has plugged the water flow from the spring that fills the well. They return Olsen to the sea.

Jimmy visits Aunt Ethel to let her know that he is well. She explains that Jimmy is an orphan from the starworld of Attalia, and hidden in the forest is a starship which could take him home. Jimmy chooses to return to  Roombelow.

When one-eyed trolls threaten Roombelow, Jimmy outwits their chief. Erg. His return to Roombelow is delayed by a cry for help from the cliff-side world of Lithania. Little people inhabit it, Diamonites, who look just like Gemma.

Jimmy returns to introduce Gemma to her lost family. Lithania relies on a supply of goods from The Traders, but two are stealing diamonites. Jimmy seeks justice, but Gemma is kidnapped by the thieves who intend to sell her as a curiosity in their land across the ocean.

  Jimmy asks for the  help of Witch Ira, the Queen of water sprites when he sets sail in pursuit. He discovers where Gemma is imprisoned and rescues her, but a mighty storm threatens their escape – Ira’s magic helps again and with the aid of a pod of dolphins, they safely reach home.

  When Jimmy decides it is time to visit his birthplace, the star world Attalia, the hidden starship is reactivated and heads homeward through the stars.

On the way the ship is damaged during a skirmish with Kursh, the head of the planet Ock and Jimmy has to abandon the starship, ejecting in a life support capsule.

The Attalian Rescue Mission saves Jimmy, and its Commander, Zaru, befriends him. On Attalia, Jimmy is welcomed by President Alpha, who awards him the honorary rank of Commander. There are no surviving members of Jimmy’s family.

Tension builds as the Attalians face another attack from Ock, and interplanetary warfare follows. They repel the invaders, but Kursh plans to rule over Attalia but Jimmy devises a plan to close the time warp linking Attalia to Ock. The destruction of the warp maroons Kursh in nether space. Once continued peace is assured, Jimmy returns to his family of friends in Roombelow.

Since when, Jimmy has developed further in a series of seven adventures in a multitude of worlds above and below the ground on which you walk, and, even beyond the stars above your head to new dimension
