Three to See the King by Magnus Mills
The third book from perhaps the most original comic novelist in England
'Mills's particularly rural comedy -- in which only locals are allowed to order the interesting biscuits in the village shop -- shares its anthropological glee with The League of Gentlemen!Three To See The King is even stranger, sparser and more daring; as Mills steps back from fables of alienated labour to Beckettian first principles, his closed system closes in! It shouldn't be a speedy page-turner, but it is; light reading with real depth, this is philosophy for fiction-lovers.' Justine Jordan, Guardian 'Magnus Mills is a genius! an extraordinary individual with a completely unique view of the world, who makes sense of it in totally unexpected and inexplicable ways. It's rare that you finish a book feeling so richly satisfied.' Big Issue 'A spare but absorbing tale in which Mills handles weighty issues of charismatic leadership, blind faith, and the interdependence of human beings, with a light, dextrous touch.' Charlotte Mosley, Daily Mail
Magnus Mills is the author of 'The Restraint of Beasts', 'All Quiet on the Orient Express' , 'The Scheme for Full Employment' and 'Explorers of the New Century'. He has had many different jobs including working as a bus driver and writing a column for the Independent before becoming a novelist.
