Off the Wall Charlotte MacLeod

As absurd as Charlotte MacLeod occasionally gets, this is by far the silliest book that she's ever written. Time travel, cursed swords, the invention of soap, and ancient goddesses figure into the plot of what could be called MacLeod's only foray into a fantastic relm. Professor Shandy and the gang are in England for a conference on what to do about the Giant Hogweed that is overtaking agriculture everywhere. Little do they know that only they can find the key to the survival of agriculture everywhere sometime in the distant past. While this novel has nothing to do with the college, it still uses the characters and similar elements that any fan of MacLeod's work expect. Highly amusing and very much reccomended.
