The Last Dragonslayer

‘With ‘The Last Dragonslayer‘ fans of Jasper Fforde‘s best-selling ‘Thursday Next‘ and ‘Nursery Crime‘ series will be delighted that Fforde‘s talent for world-building, his skewed sense of humor and his searing satire come through full force.‘ — New York Times Book Review “Features the same delightful mix of magic and everyday absurdity that characterizes [Fforde’s] other books. . . . Readers both young and adult will get hours of pleasure visiting these Ununited Kingdoms.” —NPR Books, online review ‘Fforde‘s foray into children‘s books will delight readers who like their fantasy with a dash of silliness.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review ‘Humor abounds, but so does heart, as readers are introduced to a heroine who is practical, smart, and true.‘ — School Library Journal, starred review ‘Fforde‘s fantasy is smart, funny, and abundantly imaginative in its critique of commercial culture. . . . Reminiscent of Pratchett in tone, this is nevertheless Fforde’s own creature entirely—and entirely satisfying.” — Horn Book “Fantasy readers with a taste for the silly should appreciate the subverted tropes.” — Kirkus ‘Thoroughly entertaining . . . readers will easily sit back and enjoy the fun.” — Booklist
