What you need to know before your trail
Thursday Next, literary detective and newlywed is back to embark on an adventure that begins, quite literally on her own doorstep. It seems that Landen, her husband of four weeks, actually drowned in an accident when he was two years old. Someone, somewhere, sometime, is responsible. The sinister Goliath Corporation wants its operative Jack Schitt out of the poem in which Thursday trapped him, and it will do almost anything to achieve this – but bribing the ChronoGuard? Is that possible?

Travel Guide
Visit Swindon
Due to the links Swindon has to the novels, Jasper Fforde explains that the Swindon Town Planning office got in touch with him back in around 2007 and asked if he would mind having a few of the streets of the city named after his characters. Of course he said no, and from that moment on, Swindon became a very special city on the literary map.
Nextian Estate
Imagine living on a street named after a literary character, or to be the author whose characters are immortalised in this way?
If wandering around to see these streets, be very aware that these are residential streets and that real people live there, not the characters in your imagination.
