The last sight Adamant sees is that of The Face kissing the hand of
Louise. The year is 1902. 64 years later, in 1966, during work on a
building site, the block of ice is discovered and Adamant is revived.
He is so overwhelmed by the sights and sounds – traffic, transistor
radios, women in outrageous fashions, huge neon signs, that he faints.
He’s rescued by a young mini-skirted girl, Georgina Jones, who joins
him on a series of adventures in ‘Swinging London’.
Due to the fact that his fortune has increased tremendously as a result
of compound interest, Adam is a wealthy man. He buys a penthouse overlooking
the River Thames and hires a butler, William E. Simms, a former music-hall
artist, who proves an invaluable ally. |
