Publisher's Synopsis
Lord Malquist and Mr Moon is an uproarious fantasy set in modern London. Tom Stoppard's first novel, originally published in 1966, includes not only the eighteenth-century figure of the dandified Malquist and his ineffectual Boswell, Moon, but also a couple of cowboys with six-shooters, a lion (banned from the Ritz) and a donkey-borne Irishman claiming to be the risen Christ. 'Superb fantasy, mad, sad and uproarious by turn.' Oxford Times
