1971
I was expecting this to be a quick read, but found the formal language a bit of a shock and I had to slow down and think about a little more than the picture on the cover suggested.
That said, it didn't take long to adjust to the pace, and I found that I was able to really savour both the language and the story, rather than try to finish it and move onto the next one.
I felt that I was missing a lot of jokes and references to previous books, which was annoying, but the story itself was delightful. I don't think I'll actively hunt out the rest of the series, but would read them if they were handy.
