Flanimania is set to explode again with the paperback publication of Ricky Gervais's bestseller. If you've ever wondered how The Plamglotis gets from A to B or what Munty Flumple really really likes then Flanimals" will prove the perfect guide. The multi-award winning creator of " Flanimals" Gervais sheds some light on his creation: ' It's based on a background in zoological knowledge
- there are little clues in the text like The Coddleflop's Latin name which is Ovarian Fliphanger. I've been interested in zoology as long as I can remember. I actually went to university to study biology but changed courses after two weeks to avoid the 9 o'clock lectures. I did philosophy instead. They both came in useful for this book. I've been trying to do it for about six years but nobody answered the door until I knocked on it with six Baftas.'"
