Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Lord Malquist and Mr Moon is a riotous fantasy set against the backdrop of modern London. Written by Tom Stoppard, this debut novel weaves together a colourful cast including the flamboyant eighteenth-century lord Malquist and his rather inept companion, Moon. The narrative also features unexpected characters such as cowboys armed with six-shooters, a lion unwelcome at the Ritz, and an Irishman on a donkey who professes to be the risen Christ.

Lord Malquist and Mr Moon is an uproarious fantasy set in modern London. Tom Stoppard's first novel, originally published in 1966, includes not only the eighteenth-century figure of the dandified Malquist and his ineffectual Boswell, Moon, but also a couple of cowboys with six-shooters, a lion (banned from the Ritz) and a donkey-borne Irishman claiming to be the risen Christ.
