A prolific author with a great and original online presence, Jasper Fforde has a new book coming in July. I have only read his “Thursday Next” series, so I have yet to discover the world of the Nursery Crime Division with Jack Spratt – a world spun off of the Next books and started with the “who pushed Humpty Dumpty?” mystery in the Big Over Easy.

In the upcoming The Fourth Bear, Fforde asks and, I guess, answers vital questions that I am sure kept most of us from finding sleep after our parents had close the fables book:

How could the bear's porridge be at such disparate temperatures when they were poured at the same time?

Ever wondered why Mummy bear and Daddy Bear slept in seperate beds?

Oh and if you think I have totally lost my mind, buy one of Fforde’s book.
