      <description><![CDATA[Thanks!

[url=http://www.jasperfforde.com/reader/readerjon2.html]This[/url] is [i]exactly[/i] what I'm looking for!

Unfortunately, as you say there's nothing like it for the newer books. (Nor for the NCD).


Are there any plans for something like it today? A wiki would probably be the ideal form for such a project.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[There once was a time...no, really...when Fforumites did this sort of thing.

Look at http://www.jasperfforde.com/readers.html, there are some entries listed under &quot;Guides to The Nextian Universe&quot;, that are the result of more or less collective work here on the fforum. (You know how this goes: one person (PSD, I think it was) does all the work, and everyone knows better.)

Each of these guides to the first four nextian books have an accompanying thread somewhere here...you'll have to dig deep to find them.

Another user (MartinB, longtime lost now) anounced he would compile something alike for The Big Over Easy. That was maybe six years ago. He never had anything to show, and since then noone has tried to do a guide that I know of.

For english nursery rhymes, I found http://www.rhymes.org.uk/ to be pretty helpfull; http://www.nonsenselit.org/Lear/ is a exhaustive resource on the poems of Edward Lear, and on Project Gutenberg you can find [url=http://www.gutenberg.org/files/17034/17034-8.txt]Mary Steel's[/url] classical collection of english fairy tales.

The best tip for the newer books I think is to do the [url=http://www.jasperfforde.com/competition.html]sleuthing competitions[/url] that ran at the time of their publication. If you solve them (or at least read the solutions), you will be prodded onto a number of the more striking ideas hidden in the books.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[We live in the outskirts of Geneva, and it is indeed possible (even easy) to survive for an extended period of time on English alone. But the kids are in local schools, and I work in a local company, so we manage to pick up [i]some[/i] of the local lingo. (My native language is Swedish, but I have a reasonable grasp of English.)

---

I do 'get' quite a few references, but the problem is that it's impossible to know what you haven't seen.

Reading Pratchetts works it used to be quite a sport to try to figure out what obscure Victorian author he quoted, before checking the cheat-sheet APF. Admittedly I'm a newcomer to the JFf universe(s), but it looks like his books deserve the same treatment.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mrs. SkidMarks &amp; I lived in Walchwil in Kanton Zug for a while (and before that I commuted to Geneva from the U.K. for a couple of years) so I remember &quot;Merci vilmal&quot; and similar expressions.

Unfortunately as almost everyone spoke English, and we could not find anywhere which taught Swiss-German, we came away with only a few expressions. We also developed a love of schinkengipfeli &amp; Zuger Kirschtorte, although not together.

Back to the subject: others may know of a repository, but I haven't come across one. 

You may find a knowledge of aircraft and the film industry useful. 

Of course the Nursery Crime books use characters from Mother Goose and Punch &amp; Judy puppet shows, if that is of help.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Merci!
(Which incidentally works well both in the French-speaking and the German-speaking parts of the country!)


I have only just discovered Jasper Fforde as an author, and I'm trying not  to expose myself to too many spoilers until I have read the relevant works. (I love finding authors with long lists of already published works, as I [i]hate[/i] waiting for new books to come out. I used to read exclusively dead authors, but I have decided to make an exception. I will not have Mr Fforde killed.)

Is there any curated repository for allusions, references and other cross-contaminations of JFf's books?

I'm looking for something like the [url=http://www.lspace.org/books/apf/]Annotated Pratchett File[/url] (but that's not really maintained any more.) Or maybe more like the [url=http://wiki.lspace.org/wiki/Annotations]wiki[/url] that's in process of replacing it.

While I have a fairly good grasp of English litterature as well as general culture, I have never actually lived in an English-speaking country, and I'm sure that there are loads of allusions that pass me by. (Especially in the area of nursery rhymes. My wife is English and speaks English to our kids, and if it wasn't for that I would never have understood who Thomas Thomm (son of a flutist...) was...)]]></description>

As usual, I will offer pies, but this time I will leave you todecide which are sweet and which are savoury. (A clue the sweet are marked with an &quot;S&quot; to differentiate them from the savoury.

You may be onto something there. Why not as k JFf?

Come to Nextian to meet the worst excesses of Ffodian ffandom and the the Ffiesta to meet a few of us in the fflesh.

      <description><![CDATA[OK, I'm a bit behind the times, and this is a five-year-old thread, but I'm new to the NCD.

Friedland Chymes is indeed named after the doorbell (according to Fforde himself) , but I was wondering if it went further than that. 

There's the Chief Superintendent Bell in Morse's Oxford, but he's a rather bland character. I think it's more likely to be inspired by Carroll's Bellman   from [i]The Hunting of the Snark[/i]. His rule-of-three ('If I tell it three times it's true') sounds rather like Chymes' approach to truth.]]></description>

you will find pies and liquid refreshments in Nextian Chat.


Even though we are eagerly awaiting the &quot;Shades of Grey&quot; thread to appear, you will find that there is not much happening in the book-specific threads after a few months after the book launch. Jasper's extra notes on specific books on the main site are well worth a look, though.]]></description>

As you have probably seen, most of us are more active in Nextian (although expect a mass of posts when there is a &quot;Shades of Grey&quot; thread). 

Our Mr. Fforde is a very helpful chap and I can only think of a couple of other authors who take as much interest in their fans. He even posts here occasionally, but seems happy to let our mild-natured anarchy live on pages for which he pays.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hey SkidMarks,

Thanks for the help. I finally figured out the reason I couldn't get the special features page to open up was because I had the wrong answer to the question. I sent an email directly to Mr. Fforde and he was kind enough to help me out. I went back through the end of the book and found the answer - somehow I missed it the first time through.]]></description>

I've been trying to access the special features page but have had no success. I keyed in the answer to the 'aide-de-camp' question but I'm still unable to open the page. Is the special features page still up? Is there a special way to key in the answer. Thanks for the help.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Matti,

welcome to Fforum. Jazz_Sue told us about this (in Nextian Chat), so I gave it a listen. For what it is worth, my opinion was that the concept was better than the execution, While I didn't think there was any connection with JF, other than both used nursery rhyme characters and themes, on hearing it, I am convinced that it is just coincidence. After all, we don't accuse Mr. Fforde of stealing from pantomime scripts, do we? 

I am sure if he was involved, he would be credited - and it would have been snappier.

It kicks in with reports of Jacks genetic Beanstalk being reported by Mary Mary. It is very close - is J.F. involved with this? Has someone nicked his ideas or is it a case of unconscious synchronistic thought transfer?

Check it out on radio 4's website. I want to write a mail to them letting them know that we know about Jasper Fford.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi everyone.  If someone's already posted about this, do forgive me.  

I was reading my copy of &quot;The Big Over Easy&quot; this morning, and when I got to the end of page 260 (part of chapter thirty-one &quot;Home Sweet Home) the text is cut-off midway, and the next page is, instead of 261, 325, and is the beginning of chapter 41 &quot;Dr. Horatio Carbuncle.&quot;  And as I skimmed through the rest of the pages, wondering if some of them got mixed up, I realized that chapters 41 through 44 are actually printed -twice-!  Now, I know Mr. Fforde likes to have his fun with his books, what with the whole Chapter 13 business.  But is this how my book is supposed to be, or is this a defective copy?  I'd really like to know, so I know whether or not to keep reading, or if I need to find a new copy and return the one I have.

If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi, there.

Reading &quot;The big over easy&quot; again I try to find all nursery rhymes involved - this is, for me as German who wasn't brought up with English nursery rhymes, sometimes quiet tricky. Perhaps anyone can aid me in the beginning of chapter 7, the excerpt from &quot;A Short History of the NCD&quot;: &quot;A particularly bizarre investigation that involved a tinder box, a soldier and a series of talking cats with varying degrees of ocular deformity&quot;. The first will be &quot;The Tinder Box&quot; of Hans Christian Andersen, but in which story and/or nursery rhyme do I find the cats?

Thanks a lot,
Caupano]]></description>

Don't believe Robert. Some of the tea has no milk or sugar in it!
I can't vouch for the cakes, but the pies in Nextian are all fresh cyber-baked as visitors arrive.

I am not sure what you are asking, though. You wrote &quot;is there a previous book or short story?&quot; Do you mean by the esteemed Mr. Fforde, or do you mean about Cock Robin?

You'll have better luck with an answer if you join everyone on the Nextian Chat site (these specific book sites run for a short time when the books are new but then everyone drifts back to our aforementioned home-away-from-home).
