“'True literary comic genius'”
The Last Dragonslayer is an inventive young adult fantasy featuring an independent heroine, an endearing supporting cast and stacks of action and humour. - The Age
Action packed...an enjoyable story. - The Herald Sun It s comic invention and warm characterisation, within a reworking of fantasy standards, will ensure its appeal across all age groups, in the same way as Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching books reach a wide readership... It will be an essential Christmas gift for his fans, with many new readers likely to be "slain" by this delightfully engaging novel. - The Canberra Times This is a book for the adventure lover, with an evil conglomerate and action mixed in equal measure with believable fantasy. There is also, happily, lots of word play. - Courier Mail He delivers a treat of a magical story with a twist, plus good messages for young minds. - West Australian - 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' - IndependentAbout the Author
