The author, who is full of weird and wonderful ideas that takes his readers into unknown worlds and on fantastical adventures, visited Sheffield Libraries this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jasper Fforde said, “I hope people are entertained with my books and that they give some food for thought.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has already visited East Riding where he took part in two events. Two weeks ago, he was in Berry Port, Wales where he took part in a lighthouse bookswap where many people attended to swap their books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fforde aims to complete two visits a month to libraries, as he feels strongly, that they are \u2018under attack\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said, \u201cLibraries do not have authors going into them; they are under attack. <\/p>\n\n
