    About this audiobook

    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 Schrodinger. Not to mention his cats. Schrodinger'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 heart-warming comedy with touches of inspired lunacy that pays homage to The Hitchhiker's Guide.

    In case you don’t know, I write comedy. Gentle British comedy. Having grown up with P.G. Wodehouse, the Ealing Comedies and the Carry On movies I like to think I’ve captured the tone of traditional British Humour but brought it firmly into the…where are we now? No… Not going to think about that. I also write to a theme. I write about identity, the personae we use to identify ourselves in the world and what happens when that’s suddenly taken from us. Who are we when the wave we’ve been riding all these years dumps us on the shores of Couldn’t-Care-Less and moves on? Having been dumped by two big waves I do feel somewhat of an authority. Primarily I write comedy because I want people to laugh a bit more. I believe in Hope and Second Chances and like to bring a positive feel to my writing. And it doesn’t matter if the glass is half empty or half full as long as it’s still got at least some beer in it. Although if you’re looking for cruel, biting satire then please buy my books anyway. You’ll be disappointed but I need the money. So, about me. I currently live in the Alpujarras in Southern Spain. I’m here on a fact finding mission for my next book. At least that’s what’s going on my tax return. I am fortunate enough to have been given a second chance at life. Having spent most of my working life in Sales and Marketing, at all levels and many different industries, I was finally dumped one last time when the industry I was in found it could no longer survive so much government help and finally collapsed. I now live in a funny little house in a strange little valley with my wife and soulmate (Just hope they never bump into each other), one dog and an indeterminate number of cats.

      Didn't realize I'd stumbled upon a Brexit utopia / EU dystopia book. At first it was funny then it became tedious. Never really went anywhere. Ending was abrupt but I guess I was ready for it. Just thought there'd be a bit more tying up. Oh well. As is life today, great potential hijacked by politics.
    • 2/5
      Seems to be a propaganda publication written by a racing Europhobe. Maybe he's had second thoughts since he wrote the book. Maybe.
    • 5/5
      such a joy to read / listen too. Laughing out loud according to hubby as he listens to me listening to the book. Wish there were more than three titles from this funny author
    • 5/5
      Really enjoyed this book. A really unique story- quirky and fun. Beautifully narrated.
