One of the greatest achievements in comedy. A work of staggering genius' David Walliams Gorgeous 42nd Anniversary gift edition of Douglas Adams's pop-culture classic, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, stunningly illustrated throughout by Costa Award-winner Chris Riddell.
It's an ordinary Thursday lunchtime for Arthur Dent until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly afterwards to make way for a new hyperspace express route, and Arthur's best friend has just announced that he's an alien. At this moment, they're hurtling through space with nothing but their towels and a book inscribed in large, friendly letters: DON'T PANIC. The book is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the weekend has only just begun . . . Douglas Adams's mega-selling pop-culture classic sends logic into orbit, plays havoc with physics and twists time, but most importantly it's very, very funny.
If she’s not busy being the Specialist Non-Fiction and Children’s and Young Adult Boffin, you’ll find Cadence curled up with one of the four books she usually has on the go. Feel free to talk to her about ancient history, middle-grade fiction or fantasy reads!
"DON'T PANIC!" Adventure awaits... Arthur Dent is a reluctant protagonist. To be fair, his way of life is about to be destroyed and he finds himself in space armed with a towel. A hilarious sci-fi that adults and children can both enjoy.
