About this listen

Tinker's Cottage nestles in a forgotten corner of deepest Somerset. It also happens to sit on a weak point in the space time continuum...which is somewhat unfortunate for Ian Faulkener, a graphic novelist from London, who was hoping for some peace and quiet in which to recuperate following a very messy breakdown.

It was the cats that first alerted Ian to the fact that something was not quite right with Tinker's Cottage...the cats and, of course, the Pope, disappearing literary agents, mislaid handymen and the insanity of Cherie Blair World. As Ian tries to untangle the mystery of the doors of Tinker's cottage, he risks becoming lost forever in the myriad alternate universes predicted by Schrödinger. Not to mention his cats.

Schrödinger's Cottage is a playful romp through a variety of alternate worlds peopled by an array of wonderful comic characters that are the trademark of David Luddington's novels.

For fans of the sadly missed Douglas Adams, Schrodinger's Cottage is a heartwarming comedy with touches of inspired lunacy that pays homage to The Hitchhiker's Guide.

I liked it very much, it feels interactive but in a third person. Eventhough his aunt is alive, he still managed to take it all under control.

What a great story with a lot of irreverence and thoughtful fun. The characters are well rounded and the characterisation by Nigel was well done. Highly recommended!

Thoughtful, fun, silliness

I really enjoyed this story. Narration and the writing were good quality. I felt that the voice acting as on point, and i often found myself laughing out loud at work while listening to the story. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should you.

It's a nice, fun story

A whimsical romp into the world of multiverses and appropriately rendered by Nigel Planer. Had to take a point off for an elongated patch of brexiteer nonsense and an ending which seemed a bit rushed but otherwise lots of fun.

Funny and clever
