"One of the authors of this book is an anthropologist, which explains why Professor Bull's umbrella, Philip, thinks and speaks in an almost human way. The scholar is, of course, absent-minded, and easily loses Philip. When Philip finally floats down into the professor's hand just as rain begins to fall, he (or it) has not even been missed." (from the 1954 NY Times Book Review).
