A novel of ideas - comical, historical, frightening and unputdownable.
Stephen Fry is an award-winning comedian, actor, presenter and director. He rose to fame alongside Hugh Laurie in A Bit of Fry and Laurie (which he co-wrote with Laurie) and Jeeves and Wooster, and was unforgettable as General Melchett in Blackadder. He has hosted over 180 episodes of QI, and has narrated all seven of the Harry Potter novels for the audiobook recordings. He is the bestselling author of four novels - The Stars' Tennis Balls, Making History, The Hippopotamus and The Liar - as well as three volumes of autobiography - Moab is My Washpot, The Fry Chronicles and More Fool Me. Mythos and Heroes, his retelling of the Greek myths, are both Sunday Times bestsellers.

His best novel yet ... an extravagant, deeply questioning work of

icy-black
*Literary Review*
A powerful imaginative pull that keeps the pages turning while the
tea goes cold and the cat gets the goldfish
*The Independent*
A sprightly and entertaining read
