| Who is the mysterious hero of WUTHERING TIGHTS? Do you know how TO GRILL A MOCKINGBIRD? Could you face the HEART OF DORKNESS? There are many shelves in the library of unwritten books, all of them empty. Inspired by their blank pages - and unencumbered by actual authors - award-winning illustrator Chris Riddell presents a remarkable collection of humorous drawings that slyly turns the literary canon on its head. |
| Just in time for the movie event of the year - THE DA VINCI CODE - comes a droll gift book for literati, featuring fifty-eight of the best books never written. |
