A question to Jonathan Stroud

Submit Your Question
I was wondering... Will You write a book about how it was later for London and Britain? Or could You answer my questions now? I really want to You to tell us how you imagine it. Then, these are the questions:
1.Does Bartimaeus meet Kitty after Nat dies?
2.How does it go for Britain?
3.Who's Britain's prime minister?
4.Does Bart show himself to his later masters as Nat?

Thanks for your answer!

Think about it - doing this would almost ruin the ending. The world isn't just going to end normally. It's great leaving the reader hanging. Now, a book set in London after all of this with different characters would be different.
A dozen more questions occurred to me*.

*Not to mention 22 possible solutions to each one, 16 resulting hypotheses and counter-theorems, 8 abstract speculations, a quadrilateral equation, 2 axioms, and a limerick. That's raw intelligence for you.

If he WAS going to write a book after Nat dies and all that, I think it should be a while into the future, say 50-100 years later. And I agree it would have to be with different characters, so that the perfection that was the ending to PG would be preserved, but we still would see how everything worked out.

Also, Ammet, I love your signature :yes:
The boy looked down at his cross-legged form. He was sitting straight-backed, legs folded neatly in the manner of an Egyptian scribe. "It's been two thousand, one hundred and twenty-nine years since Ptolemy died," he said. "He was fourteen. Eight world empires have risen up and fallen away since that day, and I still carry his face. Who do you think's the lucky one?"

Britain's Prime Minister is basically Harold Button, since he is able to summon a Marid and is thus the most powerful,
So who here thinks that it would be more expansive and less likely to ruin the storyline if the trilogy (and possibly the prequel book) was made into a TV show? Just wanted to throw that out there.
