One of the greatest achievements in comedy. A work of staggering genius
- David Walliams,
Dazzlingly inventive
- Caitlin Moran,
Hitchhiker’s is packed with that unique energy, all barmy and bristling and bold. This book can be witty, iconoclastic, godless, savage, sweet, surreal, but above all, it dares to be silly. Fiercely, beautifully silly
- Russell T. Davies, writer and producer of Doctor Who,
This dazzlingly entertaining fantasy is stunningly illustrated by former Children's Laureate and political cartoonist Chris Riddell in a lavishly produced gift edition.
The Daily Mail
The stunning black and white illustrations, which are plentifully dispersed throughout the pages, are filled with comedy and serve to bring to life this galivanting, galactic caper. Perfect for sci-fi comedy fans everywhere, this book would make an out of this world gift.
