| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Jasper Fforde is among the most well-known authors in alternate history literature due to the international success of his Thursday Next series. This book introduces both the author and the genre for which he is best-known before delving into the books themselves and their characters. It also discusses Fforde's other alternate history series: Nursery Crimes and its protagonist, Jack Spratt. Finally, the book presents other major contemporary alternate history writers or series, fleshing out the reader's perception of the genre as a whole. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added.
