Beschreibung
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is the second part in Douglas Adams' smash hit sci-fi comedy and cult classic series. This stunning gift edition is illustrated by Costa Award winning Chris Riddell.
'One of the greatest achievements in comedy. A work of staggering genius'' - David Walliams
If you've done six impossible things this morning, why not round it off with breakfast at Milliways, the Restaurant at the end of the Universe?
Which is exactly what Arthur Dent and the crew of the Heart of Gold plan to do. There's just the small matter of escaping the Vogons, avoiding being taken to the most totally evil world in the Galaxy and teaching a space ship how to make a proper cup of tea.
And did anyone actually make a reservation?

Rezensionen / Stimmen
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. * Mini Travellers *Weitere Details
