Fforde's debut novel and first in the 'Thursday Next' series. Finalist for the 2003 Dilys Award. Thursday Next is a time-hopping literary sleuth on the trail of Acheron Hades, who has been kidnapping characters from fiction and holding them to ransom. An incongruous juxtaposition of low comedy and high erudition, Monty Python style. "A combination of fantasy, comedy, science fiction, Douglas Adams, Kurt Vonnegut, Lewis Carroll, Monty Python and even Buffy the Vampire Slayer". –New York Times
