The first book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, was adapted straight from the radio shows. It's arguably the best-known version of the series. It began in 1979, as an adaptation of the radio series of the same name, also written by Douglas Adams, but eventually diverged from and expanded on the plot of the original. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is the trilogy-in-six-books by Adams, with the sixth book being written by Artemis Fowl's Eoin Colfer. When he was eighteen, drunk in a field in Innsbruck, hitchhiking across Europe, Douglas Adams looked up at the sky filled with stars and thought, "Somebody ought to write the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Then he went to sleep and almost, but not quite, forgot all about it.
