First edition, first printing UK Hardback of Jasper Ffordes second novel, once again following the adventures of Thursday Next. (Larger "Collectors" format)
A fantastic follow up to "The Eyre Affair", this book shares the same blend of the bizarre, the ridiculous, the hilarious, the classics, and a myriad of other ingredients which form a mind-boggling read.
To quote...."Thursday Next, literary detective and registered dodo owner beins her married life with the disturbing news that her husband of only a month drowned thirty-eight yeas ago, and no one but Thursday has any memory of him at all. Someone, Somewhere, Sometime, is responsible. Could it be the ubiquitous Goliath Corporation, who will stop at nothing to get their operative Jack Schitt out of 'The Raven' - the poem in which Thursday trapped him. Or are there more sinister forces at work in Swindon?
Having barely caught her breath after The Eyre Affair, Thursday heads back into fiction to search for some answers. Along the way she finds herself helping Miss Havisham close narrative loopholes in Great Expectations, struggling for a deeper understanding of The Tale of Flopsy Bunnies and learning the truth about Larry the Lamb. Paper politicians, lost Shakespearean manuscripts, woolly mammoth migrations, a flurry of near-fatal coincidences and impending Armageddon are all part of the greater plan.
But whose? And why?"
