The Well of Lost Plots (Thursday Next #3)

by Jasper Fforde

Evilness consultant: Ernst Blofeld. Mrs Bradshaw’s gowns by Coco Chanel. Aornis little sister idea courtesy of Rosie Fforde. Our grateful thanks to the Great Panjandrum for help and guidance in the making of this novel. No unicorns were written expressly for this book and no animals or Yahoos (other than grammasites) were harmed in its construction. This novel was written in BOOK V8.3 and was sequenced using a Mk XXIV ImaginoTransference device. Peggy Malone was the imaginator. Plot Devices and Inciting Incidents supplied by Billy Budd’s Bargain Basement and the WOLP Plot Salvage and Recycling Corporation. Generics supplied and trained by St Tabularasa’s. Holes were filled by apprentices at the Holesmiths’ Guild, and echolocation and grammatisation was undertaken by Outland contractors at Hodder and Penguin. The ‘Galactic Cleansing’ policy undertaken by Emperor Zhark is a personal vision of the emperor’s, and its inclusion in this work does not constitute tacit approval by the author or the publisher for any such projects, howsoever undertaken. Warning: The author may have eaten nuts while writing this book. Made wholly on location within the Well of Lost Plots. A Fforde/Hodder/Penguin production. All rights reserved.
