Published in 2003, The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time was an outright hit winning numerous awards internationally and was translated into 36 languages.

Told in a first-person narrative by Christopher John Francis Boone, a 15-year-old boy. Haddon once said “The Curious Incident is not a book about Asperger’s…if anything it’s a novel about difference, about being an outsider, about seeing the world in a surprising and revealing way. The book is not specifically about any specific disorder”.
