The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Series

by
(12 reviews)

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series is a cult comedy classic, beloved by readers since its first publication in 1979.
 
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy characters started life as a radio series by author Douglas Adams, a book followed and it turned into a so-called Trilogy in five parts, with the last book Mostly Harmless, publishing in 1992.
 
The sci-fi series opens on a Thursday lunchtime, when the Earth is set to be demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass. This is the final straw for human Arthur Dent, whose house has just been demolished by a bulldozer, but as he hitches a lift with friend (and unexpected alien) Zaphod Beeblebrox on a passing spaceship, he starts a series of extraordinary and hilarious intergalactic adventures. 
 
Douglas Adams’ books continue to delight teens and adults alike and in 2021 the stories will be brought to life by a new edition, illustrated by Chris Riddell. We also love the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy audiobook, narrated by Stephen Fry.
 
Join Arthur and Zaphod in their inter-galactic adventures and discover the answer to life, the universe and everything (It’s 42).
