About this listen

In the good old days, magic was powerful, unregulated by government, and even the largest spell could be woven without filling in magic release form B1-7g.

Then the magic started fading away....

Fifteen-year-old Jennifer Strange runs Kazam, an employment agency for soothsayers and sorcerers. But work is drying up. Drain cleaner is cheaper than a spell, and even magic carpets are reduced to pizza delivery.

So it's a surprise when the visions start. Not only do they predict the death of the Last Dragon at the hands of a dragonslayer, they also point to Jennifer, and say something is coming: Big Magic....

Fforde is a master at creating believable and interesting fantasy worlds, which are based on our own reality but with significant differences. The worlds are well thought through and contain all the complex relationships, politics, geographical locations, and tedious paperwork of our world, but with magic, dragons and alternative histories which give a rich background. Unlike with some fantasy books, where the background story overloads you information, Fforde writes in an intelligent and humorous way which conveys just the right amount of information for the story and leaves your mind to fill in any details. The characters are likeable, and as with Fforde’s other works, it’s refreshing to read the adventures of capable female leads with real emotions.
This audiobook is very enjoyable and I am excited to listen to more in this series.

Another fantastic world by Fforde

Jasper Fforde’s great modern day magic adventure brought to life beautifully by Jane Collingwood! Great for younger listeners and “grown-ups” alike!

Fantastic Story and Fantastic Narration!

I'm a Jasper Fforde fan (so slightly biased) but a fantastic book. Although written with young teenagers in mind, I'm in my thirty's and loved it. Clever storyline and nice friendly reading by Collingwood.

Clever and Good

This is the start of a wonderful series of audio books. Thought they are for young adults, I have enjoyed the whole series as a slightly older adult. In fact, I would recommend anything written by this author. He is a fantastic author and imparts a wonderful sense of the ridiculous to all his novels. I hope you enjoy these novels as much as I have if you choose to purchase them.
