Description: Product Description
Starting a new job is always stressful, but when Paul Carpenter arrives at the office of H.W. Wells he has no idea what trouble lies in store. Because he is about to discover that the apparently respectable establishment now paying his salary is in fact a front for a deeply sinister organization that has a mighty peculiar agenda. It seems that half the time his bosses are away with the fairies. But they're not, of course. They're away with the goblins. Tom Holt, Master of the Comic Fantasy Novel, cordially invites you to join him in his world of madness by reading his next hilarious masterpiece.
Reviews: Snesgirl (United Kingdom) (2006/10/04):
Back cover info:
Starting a new job can be extremely stressful./ You meet your colleagues and forget their names. Yuo meet your boss and forget his name. Then, after breaking a the photocopier, you forget your own name.

And the next day you get to do it all again.

But what if your new employer is not the pen-pushing paper-shuffling outfit you supposed it to be? What if it is an elaborate front for comething more sinister?

Not that Paul Carpenter, new recruit at J. W. Wells & Co would even notice. He's become obsessed with wooing the enigmatic Sophie, a bizzare angular woman with all the sexual appeal of a hole punch.

I was humming and haaring over whether or not to bother buying this from our local second-hand bookshop but I decided to go for it ... sooooo glad I did!

This guy is a serious wit :)

The storyline on the back cover sounds a bit lacking in substance but it is truly a funny, interesting, left-of-centre book.

LOVED IT! and happy to pass on the love ;P
