In Ariosto''s epic sixteenth century poem Orlando Furioso, the beautiful Angelica is rescued by the valiant Ruggiero. He swoops in riding a hippogriff, a fantastical winged creature, the offspring of a griffin and a mare. Volatore, as this hippogriff calls himself, has escaped Ariosto''s poem after being trapped within it for centuries and is now determined to find Angelica himself. Landing in San Francisco, he meets Angelica Greenberg and the unlikely couple falls in love. But events constantly conspire to separate them, and Volatore sets out to find the perfect form he must embody to consummate their love.

Angelica Lost and Found contains life-enhancing wisdom and emanates with wicked drollery, aesthetic insight and the romance of Russell Hoban at his best.

'Distinguished by his benevolent talent for strangeness ... A welcome addition to the lifelong work of a great writer' * Sunday Times *
'Suspend all your disbelief and you will enjoy the madcap humour and sheer madness of the sustained conceit and its abundant punning wordplay' * Metro *
