The inventive, exuberant, and totally original literary fun
that began with The Eyre Affair continues with Jasper
Fforde's magnificent second adventure starring the
resourceful, fearless literary sleuth Thursday Next. When
Landen, the love of her life, is eradicated by the corrupt
multinational Goliath Corporation, Thursday must moonlight
as a Prose Resource Operative of Jurisfiction-the police
force inside books. She is apprenticed to the man-hating
Miss Havisham from Dickens's Great Expectations, who
grudgingly shows Thursday the ropes. And she gains just
enough skill to get herself in a real mess entering the
pages of Poe's ?The Raven.? What she really wants is to get
Landen back. But this latest mission is not without further
complications. Along with jumping into the works of Kafka
and Austen, and even Beatrix Potter's The Tale of the
Flopsy Bunnies, Thursday finds herself the target of a
series of potentially lethal coincidences, the authenticator
of a newly discovered play by the Bard himself, and the only
one who can prevent an unidentifiable pink sludge from
engulfing all life on Earth.
