Book Description
================
From Publishers Weekly
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, and, well, you know the rest. But was Humpty's 
fall an accident, or was it murder? It's up to giant killer Jack Spratt 
of the Nursery Crime Division to get to the bottom of it. Humpty was 
quite a ladies' man, but a few people thought him a bad egg. Jack has 
a number of suspects, a new partner to break in and gloryhound/antagonist 
Detective Inspector Chimes to deal with. Prebble's sonorous British 
voice is ideally suited to narrating this whimsical, fractured fairy 
tale; his tone and pacing match Fforde's prose perfectly, and his subtle 
vocal acrobatics enable him to amusingly bring to life the novel's wildly 
divergent cast of characters. Despite its many virtues, this is probably 
Fforde's weakest novel, lacking the literary sophistication of the Thursday 
Next books. But Prebble's performance easily makes this Fforde's best 
audiobook to date. Prebble's vibrant, all-star narration more than makes 
up for them.

From Bookmarks Magazine
Hearing characters debate the implications of "illegal straw-into-gold 
dens" is attractive to a certain type of reader. Puns and silliness 
can certainly provide laugh-out-loud fun, especially when cleverly handled. 
But critics found this new series debut from literary jokester Jasper 
Fforde (The Eyre Affair, **** Summer 2002, is from Fforde’s first series, 
Thursday Next) a tad shallow and wearisome. Fforde doesn’t skewer nursery 
rhymes exclusively; he also spoofs mystery fiction protocol, including 
anagrams, secret twins, and butlers who did it. This is actually his 
most ingenious turn in an otherwise overlong send-up.
