Früher war alles besser: Magie war mächtig und unbürokratisch. Keine Formulare mussten ausgefüllt werden, bevor man einen Zauberspruch aufsagte. Doch jetzt sind die Zeiten schlecht: in Jennifers Jobvermittlung für Wahrsager und Zauberer werden selbst fliegende Teppiche nur noch vom Pizzaservice angefordert. Bis die Visionen einsetzen: ein Drachentöter, der den letzten Drachen jagt und Jennifer mittendrin.
COMING TO YOUR TV ON SKY1 THIS CHRISTMAS
Jasper Fforde´s first work for a younger generation of readers: hilarious, offbeat and bewitching, this is the start of a Dragonslayer trilogy
In the good old days, magic was powerful, unregulated by government, and even the largest spell could be woven without filling in magic release form B1-7g.
Then the magic started fading away.
Fifteen-year-old Jennifer Strange runs Kazam!, an employment agency for soothsayers and sorcerers. But work is drying up. Drain cleaner is cheaper than a spell, and even magic carpets are reduced to pizza delivery.
So it´s a surprise when the visions start. Not only do they predict the death of the Last Dragon at the hands of a dragonslayer, they also point to Jennifer, and say something is coming. Big Magic . . .
