From the book The Great Kettles: A Tale of Time page 6.

Joey built the Time Coaster, a time machine, from schematic drawings by Professor Throttleman which Joey found in the attic of his new house. After he assembled the time machine, Joey climbed into the seat and pulled a lever. The light atop the wings blinked on and the umbrella began to twirl. Then, the whole machine shook and lifted off the floor - and began to shrink! - DM

ABOUT THE GREAT KETTLES. The Great Kettles is home to a number of magical figures: The Man in the Moon, The Mystic Mariner, Father Time, The Sandman, The Cloud Keeper, The Cow that Jumped Over the Moon, The Sisters of the Bridge, Trundles, Trolls, Mogg the Giant along with his four brother Giants (one for each season), Vidalia Potts, The Onion Lady, Old Man WinterÂ…and a population of Shadow Tailors, Fence Viewers, Stone Counters, Scribners, Peddlers, Cooks and Crooks like Kudgell the Wayward Wizard. They have a game called Bowl a Troll where they roll Trolls at large (man-sized) wooden pins. The Troll, unlike a bowling ball, attempts to destroy the pins with a war-axe or sword as he flies into them. The Troll with the most destroyed wooden pins is the winner. - DM
