Monday to Saturday: Word of the day

Sunday: No word. I’ll be too busy with my casual job training carrier pigeons to send inter-dimensional postcards.

 

So, no word today. But have a look at this postcard from the village of Poor Spelling, in Jasper Fforde’s BookWorld.

Poor Spelling

If you like comic fantasy, I would highly recommend Fforde’s adult series Thursday Next or YA series The Last Dragonslayer. Here’s a line from the latter:

I noticed that he wore sandals carved from old car tyres and a duffel coat so worn and threadbare that only the buttons remained.

Read it again. Brilliant, no?

Anyway, the pigeons are getting restless and I’d best be off. Have a nice day!

Send forth those pigeons and I might get them at my school where a giant six-headed demon keeps us captured (in other words send help!)
