\'One of the greatest achievements in comedy. A work of staggering genius\' - David Walliams Gorgeous 42nd Anniversary gift edition of Douglas Adams\'s pop-culture classic, The Hitchhiker\'s Guide to the Galaxy, stunningly illustrated throughout by Costa Award-winner Chris Riddell. It\'s an ordinary Thursday lunchtime for Arthur Dent until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly afterwards to make way for a new hyperspace express route, and Arthur\'s best friend has just announced that he\'s an alien. At this moment, they\'re hurtling through space with nothing but their towels and a book inscribed in large, friendly letters: DON\'T PANIC. The book is The Hitchhiker\'s Guide to the Galaxy and the weekend has only just begun . . . Douglas Adams\'s mega-selling pop-culture classic sends logic into orbit, plays havoc with physics and twists time, but most importantly it\'s very, very funny.
