It is..and it isn't. Y'see, Jasper Fforde's Swindon is in an alternate reality. As described in an amazon.com review for the first book, the Eyre Affair: "The scene: Great Britain circa 1985, but a Great Britain where literature has a prominent place in everyday life. For pennies, corner Will-Speak machines will quote Shakespeare; Richard III is performed with audience participation, a la Rocky Horror and children swap Henry Fielding bubble-gum cards." LiteraTec Thursday Next gets involved when characters from prominent novels are kidnapped and held for randsom. She winds up mucking about within Jane Eyre. -- A2SG, can't recommend these books enough!! --Previous Message-- : Oh my God that's the funniest Swindon : site I've ever seen! (Er...you DID : realise it was a joke didn't you?) Of : course, for me the first wonder if : Swindon has to be...the Magic : Roundabout! And despite what you might : think...it's NOT a joke! Wheeeee! It's : fun! :
