The Little Car Went Beep Beep! Terry Tumbler

Have you been impressed with the symmetry of a freshly-laid free-range egg? Its lines are clean and it has a glowing, healthy exterior. It is no coincidence that the car of the future resembles an egg, except it has a silver sheen to its lightweight body shell. This is more than superficial, since it is ideally suited to its method of propulsion, which enables it to fly at great speed to distant places. It does so at no cost, what a bonus! Imaging travelling door-to-door without having to stop en route! This story pays homage to its inventor, Thomas Beckon, whose rise to power is chronicled here. It made him a billionaire in the process, as well as a wiser, more compassionate human being.
