His name will be remembered for his magnificent telescope that changed man's view of the solar system and the movement of the sun and planets within it. Join the curious and playful Digby and his big sister Hester as they make their way through the odds and ends at Mr Rummage's stall at knick-knack market. Discover the wonderful little objects they pick up and enjoy the stories about the great people they belong to.

| Summary/Abstract |
In Italy, 1589, Massimo drops lunch to his uncle from a bridge, so the food falls into his uncle's boat. One day, Galileo notices that the bread and wheel of cheese land in the boat at the same time. But Aristotle had said that heavy things fall at a faster rate than light ones. Will Galileo and Massimo be able to prove Aristotle's theory wrong?
