Get ready for the foodiest odyssey in British comedy history
As the creator of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - one of the biggest phenomena in British publishing history - Douglas Adams was big. Really big.
But though Hitchhiker gave Adams the fame and wealth he always wanted, it was a creation he felt haunted by for the rest of his life.
With the full approval and participation of Douglas' family and closest friends, in THE FROOD, comedy historian Jem Roberts takes a fresh look at the man and his globally adored creation. He brings the Hitchhiker story right up to date and examines Douglas' private archives, reproducing many previously unseen ideas, extracts, stories and jokes for fans to share and enjoy.
Towels at the ready...
'Roberts' lively, conversational prose never tries to ape Adams' own style, but tells his story in a compelling flow. A thoroughly absorbing read.'
