Something Rotten by Jasper Fforde


Thursday Next has left BookWorld with her son (Friday) and returned to the RealWorld to live with her Mum (Wednesday). Will she be able to ensure that the Swindon Mallets win the Croquet Superhoop, thereby stopping Chancellor Yorrick Kaine, the fictional megalomaniac, from becoming the Dictator of England, put a halt to the gallop of the evil Goliath corporation, avert a war with Denmark and prevent the Earth from turning into a mouldering radioactive cinder a week from next Tuesday? While she's about it, she needs to keep the BookWorld ticking over, find a Shakespere, smuggle Danish books into Wales, avoid a very determined assassin and reactualise her husband. All in a day's work.
