The Washington Times Mr. Fforde manages to bombard the reader with more bizarre detail than most writers would dare to fit in their entire oeuvre, yet he does so with. The Wall Street Journal. This time, the world's most brutal serial-killer confection, the Gingerbreadman, has managed to escape St. Cerebellum's secure hospital for the criminally deranged. After twenty years of falsely peaceful incarceration, he's looking for revenge against Jack, the officer who The Fourth Bear escaped with his life during the Gingerbreadman's initial arrest. But numerous suspensions and public speculation about Jack's mental state have forced Superintendent Briggs to place Jack on medical leave, leaving the case in the incapable hands of the friendly but incompetent David Copperfield. His sister, Henrietta, a fussy journalist with blond ringlets who also goes by the nickname Goldilocks, has disappeared. She had been on the verge of uncovering a big story that would help further her pet "right to arm bears" cause. A breadcrumb trail of clues leads Jack from a house of three porridge- abusing bears to a small group of fringe scientists growing enormous vegetables and eventually to an unfinished theme park owned by the secretive QuangTech corporation, where he discovers Goldilocks's body parts. But who had it in for her? Was it a fourth savage, porridge-mongering bear who ran away from the crime scene? Was she a victim of the competitive cucumberista farmers protecting the The Fourth Bear fruits of their labor? Or was it an associate of her ambitious secret politician lover? Jack is clearly the only man who can solve this mystery. That's because nursery crimes aren't just his jurisdiction; they're a part of his life. Jack has known about his own Dubious Reality status since his first poetic marriage to a fat-eating wife—a The Fourth Bear he's never been able to admit to his beloved second wife, Madeleine. After five years of trying to hide his true nature from Madeleine, and under pressure from his abusive PDR Persons of Dubious Reality neighbors Punch and Judy, Jack finally spills his secret to Madeleine, who feels betrayed and hurt by his The Fourth Bear. Dismissed by his boss, shunned by his wife, hunted by the murderous Gingerbreadman, and thwarted by the reclusive ursine community, Jack The Fourth Bear unravel the mystery of the fourth bear before his own couplet comes to an untimely end. Jasper Fforde plays with the literary figures in the canon the way children play with toy figurines, creating full-scale imaginary worlds from scraps of children's literature. But he doesn't just use the nursery crime pun The Fourth Bear laughs—Fforde carves away the cute rhymes to reveal the dark heart at the center of Western culture's childhood tales. His whimsical, vividly imagined remixes of these well-known fairy tales would have made the brothers Grimm proud. Jasper Fforde traded a varied career in the film industry for staring vacantly out of the window and arranging words on a page. He lives and writes in Wales.

  • THE FOURTH BEAR by Jasper Fforde
    Synopsis: The Gingerbreadman: Psychopath, sadist, genius, convicted murderer and biscuit is loose in the streets of Reading. It isn't Jack Spratt's case. He and Mary Mary have been reassigned due to falling levels of nursery crime, and the NCD is once more in jeopardy. That is, until a chance encounter during the Armitage Shanks literary awards at the oddly familiar Deja-Vu Club lead Jack and Mary on the hunt for missing journalist Henrietta 'Goldilocks' Hatchett, star reporter for the Daily Mole. She had been about to break a story involving unexplained explosions in Herefordshire, Pasadena and the Nullabor Plain; The last witness to see her alive were The Three Bears, comfortably living out a life of rural solitude in Andersen's wood. But all is not what it seems. How could the bear's porridge be at such disparate temperature when they were poured at the same time? Was Goldy's death in the nearby 1st World War Themepark of SommeWorld a freak accident? And is it merely chance that the Gingerbreadman pops up at awkward moments? But there's more. What does a missing scientist with a terrifying discovery in subatomic physics, a secret weapon of devastating power, a reclusive industrialist known only as the Quangle-Wangle and Colonel Danvers of the National Security all have in common? THE FOURTH BEAR By Jasper Fforde The second book in the Nursery Crime series Copyright © Jasper Fforde, 2006 “DCI Spratt of the Nursery Crime Division,” announced Jack, holding up his ID. “Put down the scissors and step away from the thumb.” For my mother Because the Forest will always be there… and anybody who is Friendly with Bears can find it.

  • Wishing to Be Fictional
    Wishing to Be Fictional Laura Green Northeastern University n Jasper Fforde’s crime-novel parody The Fourth Bear: A Nursery In- vestigation (2006), a detective named Jack Spratt investigates crimes Iinvolving characters from nursery rhymes, such as the Gingerbread Man. The novel’s parallel universe of Reading, England, features two kinds of characters. Some characters are, for the novel’s purposes, “real people,” who have the same beliefs about their ontological status as the novel’s readers do about theirs and are fictional only from the reader’s extradiegetical perspective. These characters live side-by-side with “Per- sons of Dubious Reality” (PDRs), whose existence derives from other texts and who know that they are intradiegetically, as well as extradi- egetically, fictional. As it turns out, Spratt himself is a PDR—Jack Sprat of the nursery rhyme, who, having added an extra “T” to his name, is passing as real. A crisis occurs when he must confess his status to his wife, Madeleine, who is, apparently, real. Her anger at his deception is compounded by the fear that if someone as apparently ordinary (by local standards) as Jack is a PDR, she might be one also. Spratt’s attempt to dispel this fear is not, as the reader recognizes, entirely persuasive: “In the nursery world, surnames always make good rhymes. Horner/corner, Spratt/fat, Hubbard/cupboard. Your maiden name of ‘Usher’ doesn’t rhyme with much except ‘gusher’ and . ‘flusher’” (185). Spratt seems to overlook his own knowledge that PDRs don’t come exclusively from nursery lore (his own close PDR acquaintance includes his daughter’s fiancé, Prometheus, and his son’s pet, Caliban), and his reading appar- ently has not extended to the stories of Poe, in whose “Fall of the House of Usher” Madeleine is to be found.1 With its crossing and re-crossing of conventional boundaries be- tween the representationally real and the representationally fictional, Fforde’s postmodern romp mocks readers’ attachment to these distinc- tions and our conviction that we (unlike Madeleine) can be certain which side we are on.

Since then, he has been writing in the Comedy/Fantasy Genre with thirteen more books. A few years after having written The Eyre Affair, Fforde extended the Thursday Next series with six more novels and published two books in a second series called 'Nursery Crime', The Big Over Easy (2005) and The Fourth Bear (2006). In January 2010 Fforde put to press Shades of Grey. Conclusively, his latest series hold The Last Dragonslayer (2010), Song of the Quarkbeast (2011) and The Eye of Zoltar (2013). At the final point, last August, Fforde's last book, Early Riser, was printed (J. And M. Fforde). In comparison to other publications by Fforde, The Eyre Affair is more associated with fiction in a contemporary world and everything related to literature, but in all his works there are common general stylistics features and main themes, such as feminism, racism and history (Fforde, interview by Heminsley).
