Much excitement in the Mansfield household yesterday when this dropped onto the doormat.
Yes, it's the much-anticipated sixth book in the Hitchhiker's Guide series, And Another Thing, this time penned by renowned kids' author Eoin Colfer. It's been years since I read the original H2G2, but this is actually quite exciting. A recent Guardian article about the series charted how Adams rose from being a lowly comedy writer to one of the most revered writers of his generation, as a result of the success of the Hitchhikers' Guide series. I'm looking forward to starting it over the next couple of days to see how Colfer manages to keep the series going – a tough job by anyone's standards.
