When It's A Jar

Uniquely twisted...cracking gags... - The Guardian (UK)

Wacky humor bubbles through the polished narrative... Holt doesnt skimp on the flashes of brilliance. - SFX

Maurice has just killed a dragon with a breadknife. And had his destiny foretold . . . and had his true love spirited away. Thats precisely the sort of stuff thatd bring out the latent heroism in anyone. Unfortunately, Maurice is pretty sure he hasnt got any latent heroism.

Meanwhile, a man wakes up in a jar in a different kind of pickle (figuratively speaking). He cant 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?

An absurdly witty novel of alternate universes and very unlikely heroes from one of Britains best-loved comic writers - perfect for fans of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett
