An Englishman's continuing search through space and time for a decent cup of tea...

Arthur Dent's accidental association with that wholly remarkable book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, has not been entirely without incident.

Arthur has traveled the length, breadth, and depth of known, and unknown, space. He has stumbled forward and backward through time. He has been blown up, reassembled, cruelly imprisoned, horribly released, and colorfully insulted more than is strictly necessary. And of course Arthur Dent has comprehensively failed to grasp the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Arthur has finally made it home to Earth, but that does not mean he has escaped his fate.

Arthur's chances of getting his hands on a decent cuppa have evaporated rapidly, along with all the world's oceans. For no sooner has he touched down on the planet Earth than he finds out that it is about to be blown up... again.

And Another Thing... is the rather unexpected, but very welcome, sixth installment of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. It features a pantheon of unemployed gods, everyone's favorite renegade Galactic President, a lovestruck green alien, an irritating computer, and at least one very large slab of cheese.

Eoin Colfer

Eoin Colfer

Most children’s authors dream up heroes—Eoin Colfer created a criminal mastermind. And not just any criminal, but a preteen genius armed with sarcasm, technology, and a pocket full of schemes. Artemis Fowl, the boy antihero who launched a global phenomenon, didn’t arrive in a blaze of prophecy or destiny—he hacked his way into fairyland and rewrote the rulebook.

Colfer was born in Wexford, Ireland, in 1965, a place he once described as “a sleepy town where nothing much happened—except in my imagination.” The son of a schoolteacher and an artist, he grew up in a household where stories and creativity weren’t just encouraged—they were woven into everyday life. He became a teacher himself, but writing was always there, bubbling beneath the surface like one of his underground fairy operations.

It was in 2001 that Artemis Fowl burst onto the shelves, blending espionage, fantasy, and dark humor in a way children’s literature hadn’t quite seen before. With its high-tech gadgets, myth-meets-modernity setting, and morally complex characters, the series appealed to readers who liked their fantasy with a little more bite. Critics sometimes called it “Die Hard with fairies,” but it was more than that—it was Colfer’s distinctly Irish wit, his love for chaos-with-heart, that made the books unforgettable.

Beyond Artemis, Colfer has explored time travel (The Reluctant Assassin), crime capers (Highfire, featuring a vodka-swilling dragon in the Louisiana bayou), and even picked up the torch of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy with And Another Thing…, a bold continuation that paid homage to Douglas Adams while carrying Colfer’s signature tone. His books often walk the line between absurdity and sincerity, filled with rogueish charm, inventive tech, and a deep, beating heart under the banter.

Though often labeled a children’s author, Colfer writes with an edge that appeals across generations. His themes—identity, loyalty, power, and redemption—are wrapped in wild plots, but they leave lasting questions in their wake. That’s part of what makes his stories so enduring.

He’s been honored with numerous awards and international acclaim, but perhaps the best summary of his career comes from Colfer himself, who once said, “I will keep writing until people stop laughing. Then I’ll switch genres.” So far, there’s been no need for a change.

Whether he’s crafting laser battles beneath Irish soil or penning heartfelt stories about flawed heroes, Eoin Colfer continues to remind readers that fantasy doesn't have to be solemn to be smart—and that mischief, when wielded well, can be its own kind of magic.
