The Well of Lost Plots

by Jasper Fforde · Thursday Next series

Thursday takes refuge in the Well of Lost Plots, the construction yards beneath the published world where books are assembled and tested before release. Fforde expands his fictional universe with genre police, grammasites, and the machinery of storytelling laid bare. A love letter to narrative itself, told with wit and an anarchic imagination.
