Discover one of the most iconic works in comedy literature – The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. This 42nd Anniversary gift edition is beautifully illustrated by Costa Award-winner Chris Riddell, adding new life to this timeless classic. Follow Arthur Dent, an ordinary man whose world turns upside down when his house—and soon after, the Earth—is demolished to make way for a hyperspace express route. Alongside his alien best friend, Arthur embarks on an interstellar journey armed with only a towel and a book bearing the comforting phrase: “DON’T PANIC.”

This pop-culture phenomenon defies logic, plays with the fabric of time and space, and keeps readers laughing from start to finish.
