Jasper Fforde traded a varied career in the film industry for staring out of the window and chewing the end of a pencil. He lives and works in Wales and has a passion for aviation.
'True literary comic genius' - Sunday Express 'This is Fforde's first book for children and as ever he is terrifically inventive and this is full of fun' - Daily Telegraph 'Jasper Fforde has one of those effervescent imaginations that never throws in one joke when he can fit in two or three . . . he created his mad but logical parallel version of the Welsh marches with loving detail' - Independent 'This is a lively, witty and entertaining tale for older children who still like making silly faces.' - Philip Womack, Literary Review 'Highly recommended. Very funny' - Independent '[Fforde's] ripping yarn of magic in decline mashes up the usual spells-and-beasts motif with a satire on corporate cash and tabloid values.' - i Every bit as imaginative and unique, comic and engaging as his adult books . . . THE LAST DRAGONSLAYER is a fast, funny, entertaining, feel good read. Fans of Thursday Next will enjoy it whatever their age - www.fantasynibbles.com
