Jasper Fforde returns to BookWorld in this New York Times
bestselling installment of his Thursday Next
series
Jasper Fforde has thrilled readers
everywhere with his gloriously outlandish novels in the
Thursday Next and Nursery Crime series. Now, after a
two-year hiatus, the demand for Thursday Next has more than
tripled. And with Thursday Next: First Among Sequels,
Fforde’s famous literary detective is once again ready to
make the world safe for fiction. Thursday Next is grappling
with a host of problems in BookWorld: a recalcitrant new
apprentice, the death of Sherlock Holmes, and the
inexplicable departure of comedy from the once-hilarious
Thomas Hardy novels, to name just a few—all while captaining
the ship Moral Dilemma and facing down her most
vicious enemy yet: herself.
