A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'Highly recommended. Very funny' (Independent)

'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' (Independent)

'[Fforde's] ripping yarn of magic in decline mashes up the usual spells-and-beasts motif with a satire on corporate cash and tabloid values.' (i)

'Fforde is a master entertainer, and a wordsmith of dexterous genius' (Scotsman)

'This year's grown-up JK Rowling' (Sunday Times)

'Hilarious, absurd and utterly compelling new series of nursery crimes for adults.' (Daily Mirror)

'Fforde's books are more than an ingenious idea. They are written with buoyant zest and are tautly plotted. They have empathic heroes and heroines who nearly make terrible mistakes and suitable dastardly villains who do. They also have more twists and turns than Christie, and are embellish with the rich details of a Dickens or Pratchett.' (Independent)

'True literary comic genius' (Sunday Express)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In the good old days, magic was powerful, unregulated by government, and even the largest spell could be woven without filling in magic release form B1-7g.

Then the magic started fading away.

Fifteen-year-old Jennifer Strange runs Kazam, an employment agency for soothsayers and sorcerers. But work is drying up. Drain cleaner is cheaper than a spell, and even magic carpets are reduced to pizza delivery.

So it's a surprise when the visions start. Not only do they predict the death of the Last Dragon at the hands of a dragonslayer, they also point to Jennifer, and say something is coming.
Big Magic . . .
