After two rollicking <I>New York Times</I> bestselling adventures through Western literature, resourceful literary detective Thursday Next definitely needs some downtime. And what better place for a respite than in the hidden depths of the Well of Lost Plots, where all unpublished books reside? But peace and quiet remain elusive for Thursday, who soon discovers that the Well is a veritable linguistic free-for-all, where grammasites run rampant, plot devices are hawked on the black market, and lousy books—like the one she has taken up residence in—are scrapped for salvage. To make matters worse, a murderer is stalking the personnel of Jurisfiction and it’s up to Thursday to save the day. A brilliant feat of literary showmanship filled with wit, fantasy, and effervescent originality, this Ffordian tour de force is the most exciting Thursday Next adventure yet. 1116054 2003 The Well of Lost Plots (Thursday Next, #3) total:6074|5:1869|4:2574|3:1400|2:192|1:38| 6074 24268 7603 418 3 7 false false Wed Mar 05 07:48:30 -0800 2008 Sat May 17 07:29:49 -0700 2008
