    Did you know that the books are based on a BBC radio play? So this is basically a audiobook based on a radio play

      If you want to go down that rabbit hole it gets pretty convoluted. Adam's talks about it in his biography. Its more of an amorphous blob than a cinematic universe.

        I don't need to biography to know that that's a good description of the books and stuff.

        The order of the stories is a different one in the books and the radio play, but who cares about the order.

        Also: the original radio play was made into the first 2 (or 3?) books. Than he continued writing and later (I think about a decade) he made a radio play out of the other books.
