When it's a jar
by Tom Holt

(1 review)
Maurice has just killed a dragon with a bread knife... and his true love has been spirited away. Meanwhile, a man wakes up in a jar in a different kind of pickle (figuratively speaking): he can't get out, or remember his name... or anything... and every time he starts working it all out, someone makes him forget again. An absurdly witty novel of alternate universes and very unlikely heroes.
