I don't want to alarm anyone, but Wayne Marshall's historical/literary/speculative romp, Henry Goes Bush, is at large and roaming the countryside. Track down a copy however you can.

Wayne Marshall's debut novel reviewed in Books & Publishing today ($): "Exhilaratingly inventive, Henry Goes Bush stretches the boundaries of historical fiction in ways that feel entirely its own." Out in May from Picador!
