Commemorating the 61st birthday of English writer Douglas Adams on March 11, Internet search giant Google has posted an interactive Google Doodle to celebrate the renowned author's legacy and life.

The animated doodle to mark the birth anniversary of Adams - who was born on 11 March, 1952 in Cambridge, England; and died of a heart attack in Santa Barbara, California, in 2001 - showcases one of Adams most famous novel, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," which is a comic science fiction series that got adapted into a movie in 2005.

The Google doodle to commemorate Adams' 61st birthday chiefly features items like a towel, a bag, a lift door, and a cup of tea, which is touchstone to one of the author's 1988-published humorous fantasy detective novel, titled `The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul.'

In addition, the doodle also features the endearing `Marvin' named robot, which is one of the many interesting characters from Adam's cult classic work, `The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.'

Overall, honoring the fact that Adams penned some of the best English novels at his time, with the worldwide sales of some of his books surpassing 15 million copies, the Google doodle posted on the occasion of the noted writer's birth anniversary aptly includes a number of references to his works.
