The Big Over Easy: A Nursery Crime Assigned for Special Studies in Illustration-Fall '07

The Fall 2007 semester assigned reading for the Special Studies in Illustration classes is The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde. Penguin, the publisher, summarizes the story thus: "Meet Inspector Jack Spratt, family man and head of the Nursery Crime Division. He's investigating the murder of ovoid D-class nursery celebrity Humpty Dumpty, found shattered to death beneath a wall in a shabby area of town. Yes, the big egg is down, and all those brittle pieces sitting in the morgue point to foul play."
