About the Author :
Douglas Adams was born in 1952 and created all the various and contradictory manifestations of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: radio, novels, TV, computer game, stage adaptation, comic book and bath towel. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's book was published 30 years ago on 12 October 1979 and its phenomenal success sent the book straight to Number One in the UK Bestseller List. In 1984 Douglas Adams became the youngest author to be awarded a Golden Pan. His series has sold over 15 million books in the UK, the US and Australia and was also a best seller in German, Swedish and many other languages. Douglas lived with his wife and daughter in California, where he died suddenly in 2001.

Review :
One of the greatest achievements in comedy. A work of staggering genius Dazzlingly inventive Fizzing with ideas . . . Brilliant It changed my whole life. It's literally out of this world Really entertaining and fun 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 He had almost a Wodehousian style and some of his phrases and jokes entered our language. He changed the way people spoke There has never been another writer remotely like Douglas Adams. He discovered a completely new genre – scientific wit – and having discovered it he raised it to dizzying heights Quite good I suppose, if you like brilliantly entertaining books written with a touch of imaginative genius Very occasionally a book comes along that changes the way you laugh and what you laugh about One of the world’s sanest, smartest, kindest, funniest voices Sheer delight Magical . . . read this book
