A wonderfully original fable which will appeal to readers of all ages, from 'a British writer to be treasured' (Independent on Sunday) 'Of course, if this had been any other country The Scheme would still be going today. In any other country it would have been regarded as a national treasure. Planned to the finest detail by people of vision, The Scheme was watertight, and could not possibly go wrong. Except in this country.' Life on The Scheme is like being in a great big feather bed.

And all you've got to do is turn up for work every day! But it could all so easily come to an end.
