Description
Maurice has just killed a dragon with a breadknife. And had his destiny foretold. . . and had his true love spirited away. That's precisely the sort of stuff that'd bring out the latent heroism in anyone. Unfortunately, Maurice is pretty sure he hasn't got any latent heroism.
Meanwhile, a man wakes up in a jar in a different kind of pickle (figuratively speaking). He can't get out, of course, but neither can he remember his name, or what gravity is, or what those things on the ends on his legs are called. . . and every time he starts working it all out, someone makes him forget again. Forget everything.Only one thing might help him. The answer to the most baffling question of all.WHEN IS A DOOR NOT A DOOR?Critic Reviews
“Tom Holt stands out on his own . . . If you haven't read any, go out and buy one. But don't blame me for any laughter-induced injuries”
Frantically wacky and willfully confusing...gratifyingly clever and very amusing. -- MAIL ON SUNDAY
always inventively funny. -- SFX
wisecracking dialogue. -- STARBURST

About the Author
Tom Holt's first book was published when he was just thirteen and, to his horror, he was hailed as an infant prodigy. While studying at Oxford, however, he discovered bar billiards and turned from poetry to comic fiction.
