Uncle Buckle is a great inventor of engineering marvels.

His amazing contraptions take him along the ground and into the air, powered by steam, petrol and sometimes simply man power. Anything that finds its way into his workshop can be recycled into something new and exciting.

Take a look at some of his greatest creations and buckle up for the ride!

Warwickshire-based Cyril Hobbins is a renowned expert on antique wooden toys and accomplished artist. Now well into his ninth decade, he has turned his hand to digital artwork to create Uncle Buckle, partly to inspire future engineers and creators. He says: "I've written Uncle Buckle for the kind of child I was, perhaps a little shy and a bit bookish, but with an imagination that took me to other worlds. I began to read at a very young age and loved working out what long words meant, so the story isn't dumbed down for my young audience."

Hobbins, Cyril: - Cyril is one of life's enthusiasts, who has spent much of his life bringing joy to others. His eight-plus decades have encompassed incredible variety, from a wartime childhood, through carpentry and joinery to teaching, social work and some special years as a toy maker. He's even been called upon by Disney in Hollywood for his expertise in creating historically accurate wooden toys. Today he's showing no signs of slowing down, with Uncle Buckle being his first foray into digital artwork after a lifetime of creating everything from homes to theatre sets and from pointillist portraits to Pinocchio. Cyril is a well-known figure in his home town of Kenilworth, Warwickshire, where he enjoys street photography and is often found in one of his favourite coffee shops.
