A Thursday Next Novel
Fourteen years after she pegged out at 1988 SuperHoop, Thursday Next us grappling with a recalcitrant new apprentice, the death of Sherlock Holmes and the inexplicable departure of comedy from the once-hilarious Thomas Hardy novels.
Her idle sixteen-year-old son would rather sleep all day than save the world from imminent destruction, the government has dangerously high stupidity surplus, and the Stiltonista Cheese Mafia are causing trouble for Thursday in her hometown of Swindon.
Then things begin to get bad. As Reality Book Shows look set to transplant Reality TV Shows and Goliath invent a trans-Fictional tourist coach, Thursday must once again have her wits about her as she travels to the very limits of acceptable narrative possibilities to rescue the reading experience From almost certain destruction …
'Jasper Fforde's imagination is a literary volcano in full spate' Independent
Praise for Jasper Fforde
`Jasper Fforde has gone where no other fictioneer has gone before. Millions of readers now follow. Thank you, Jasper' Guardian
`Don't ask. Just read it. Fforde is a true original' Sunday Express
`The pleasure in Fforde's quirkily brilliant books is that they can be enjoyed on so many levels by all ages. For the younger reader they are straight up and down crazy fun in a world where dodos and Neanderthals exist, where cloning is commonplace and where talking monkeys in floral dresses are (almost) part and parcel of everyday life. For the older reader there are the extra joys of literary references, wordplay, silliness and satire' Sydney Morning Herald
`This year's grown-up J K Rowling' The Sunday Times
`Forget all the rules of time, space and reality; just sit back and enjoy the adventure' Sunday Telegraph
`Douglas Adams would be proud' Scotsman

New Paperback - Hodder (2007)
Buy at Amazon.co.uk The Fourth Bear
The Gingerbreadman - psychopath, genius, convicted murderer and biscuit - is loose on the streets of Reading.
But it isn’t Jack Spratt’s case. Enforced non-involvement looks to be frustrating, until a chance encounter at the oddly Familiar Dêjà Vu Club leads them into the hunt of missing journalist Henrietta ‘Goldy’ Hatchett, star reporter For The Daily Toad.
The last witnesses to see her alive were the Three Bears comfortably living a life of rural solitude in Andersen’s wood. But all is not what it seems. Are the unexplained explosions around the world related to a missing nuclear scientist? How dangerous can cucumber-growing be?
And most important of all: how could the bears’ porridge be at such disparate temperatures when they were poured at the same time?
‘Best-selling Fforde’s hilarious, absurd and utterly compelling new series’ Mirror

About The Author
Jasper Fforde has been writing purely for his own pleasure for the past ten years, and is delighted that this has all changed. Just recently he has traded a varied career in the film industry for staring vacantly out of the window and arranging words on a page. He lives and writes in Wales and has a passion for aviation.
