The Triplets

There is a man on the island of Majorca who is gravely ill. He asks his two sons Joanot and Bernadet to go in search of the Rosemary Flower, which can cure all ills. But nobody has ever seen that flower. Joanot travels the world in search of it while Bernadet and the Triplets limit their search to the Majorcan island itself. A great white eagle lends them a hand, while the Bored Witch does what she can to foil their search.

The Bored Witch punishes the Triplets by sending them to the dark, foggy streets of 19th-century London. There they meet Dr. Jekyll, who takes them on as assistants in his laboratory. But they aren’t alone: living in the same house is Mr. Hyde, a frightening-looking and mysterious individual who stealthily leaves the house every night. The girls try to figure out just who he is, but the man’s true identity is Dr. Jekyll’s best-kept secret.

This prince is not exactly happy for he has been turned into a statue bedecked in gold and jewels and so he cannot do what most gives him pleasure, which is to help other people in need by sharing his fortune.

King Mark of Cornwall sends Tristan on a mission: he is to go to Ireland to fetch Isolde, the king’s future bride.

In the end Isolde marries the King and Tristan marries his beloved Erica.

The Triplets are first-hand witnesses to the story of two English boys who, despite the fact that they look exactly alike, are not twins: one is a prince and the other a pauper. The girls arrive in London just at the time the two boys meet up with each other and the Triplets come up with the entertaining idea of the two boys exhanging clothes. It turns out, however, that the King’s soldiers then throw the prince off the royal grounds, thinking he’s a pauper, leaving the girls and the real pauper in the luxurious palace setting.

Thanks to the Bored Witch, the Triplets meet Agatha Christie, the famous author of mystery novels, when they all find themselves travelling on the grand and luxurious Orient Express.

The Triplets’ mischief making lands them in Egypt where they join archaeologist Howard Carter in the most spectacular archaeological discovery of all time: the tomb of child-pharaoh Tutankhamen.

An inventor has built a machine making it possible to travel through time. The Triplets join him on a trip to the future to a period where machines do everything for people.

The Triplets find themselves in a period when pirates ruled the high seas. Disguised as sailors they sail on a ship in the Caribbean. On the boat they meet Mary Reed, a young girl who pretends to be a boy so that she can fulfill her dream of being a sailor.

The Triplets, together with the Bored Witch, must use their imaginations to convince Holet to help them free Lazybelle.

The Triplets meet a scientist who is searching for the formula of a medication that he is in urgent need of taking. He explains to them that, thanks to an experiment that went awry and has made him invisible, he now spends his time hiding out in a shopping center where he entertains himself by frightening the clients and feeling like the most powerful man in the world. But the girls discover something: he is easily embarrassed and becomes visible when made to blush.

It is the Bored Witch's birthday and all of the characters of the Triplets stories arrive at her castle to celebrate the event.

As at every birthday party, there are gifts and a cake...a cake with a special surprise!
