Fun Facts

The illustrations of most Timmi Tobbson characters were inspired by actors and/or their fictional characters from well-known movies.

Marvin was inspired by Gaten Matarazzo's performance as Dustin in Stranger Things. Sir London was inspired by Christopher Lloyd's interpretation of Dr. Emmet Brown in Back to the Future. Lotterlulu was inspired by Johnny Depp's character Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean as well as Dustin Hoffman's performance in Hook. The Guardian was inspired by the looks of American actor, director and producer Danny DeVito. Lilli's Grandpa was inspired by Sir Sean Connery's portrayal of the father of Indiana Jones in The Last Crusade.

Psst: This book contains a puzzle which is unrelated to the story and involves all thirty-one main illustrations.
