*What is there left to say about Iris Wildthyme – transtemporal adventuress
extraordinaire, metafictional explorer of texts and subtexts,
double-decker-dwelling interstellar bag-lady, amnesia-prone political and
sexual revolutionary, writer of wrongs, wronger of rights (especially
copyrights), all-round champion of freedom, occasional nightclub singer and
frequent barroom floozy?

Well, there’s always something...

Obverse Books are proud to announce the release of their first short story
collection, 'Iris Wildthyme and the Celestial Omnibus', edited by Paul Magrs
and Stuart Douglas.

Continuing the adventures of time traveller extraordinaire Ms Iris
Wildthyme, 'The Celestial Omnibus' contains stories by such Who luminaries
as former BBC Books editor Steve Cole; Mark Wright and Cavan Scott,
producers of the Iris audios for Big Finish; and Iris creator Paul Magrs
himself. With an introduction from Katy Manning, the Omnibus travels from
1950s England to the last sun at the end of the Universe, encountering the
crew of the Battleship Anathema, a world full of cats and another of
card-playing dogs, the sultry Marlene Dietrich and Panda's mysterious former
lover, Gemma, on the way.

Available in hardback, with an exclusive cover painting by legendary BBC
costume designer June Hudson, 'The Celestial Omnibus' costs £10.99 plus
postage from www.obversebooks.co.uk while stocks last!
