«The Last Dragonslayer» is Jasper Fforde's young adult fantasy novel, published by Hodder Ome in paperback (291 pages, in English).
Fifteen-year-old Jennifer Strange runs Kazam, an employment agency for sorcerers and seers in a world where magic is fading. The business barely survives: flying carpets deliver pizzas. Visions announce the death of the last dragon at the hands of a dragonslayer, and all signs point to Jennifer.
First installment of the «The Last Dragonslayer» series by Jasper Fforde, published in 2011.
A read suitable for young adult audiences and fantasy fans with touches of humor.
Jasper Fforde is an English novelist whose first novel, The Eyre Affair, was published in 2001. He is known mainly for his Thursday Next novels, but has also published two books in the loosely connected Nursery Crime series, two in the Shades of Grey series and four in The Last Dragonslayer series. Fforde's books abound in literary allusions and wordplay, tightly scripted plots and playfulness with the conventional, traditional genres. They usually contain elements of metafiction, parody, and fantasy.
