The ninth Discworld novel.
Terry Pratchett is one of the most popular authors writing today. He lives behind a keyboard in Wiltshire and says he 'doesn't want to get a life, because it feels as though he's trying to lead three already'. He was appointed OBE in 1998. He is the author of the phenomenally successful Discworld series and his trilogy for young readers, The Bromeliad, is scheduled to be adapted into a spectacular animated movie. His first Discworld novel for children, THE AMAZING MAURICE AND HIS EDUCATED RODENTS, was awarded the 2001 Carnegie Medal.
'Like Jonathan Swift, Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a
distorting mirror to our own, and like Swift he is a satirist of
enormous talent ... incredibly funny ... compulsively readable'
*The Times*
'The great Terry Pratchett, whose wit is metaphysical, who creates
an energetic and lively secondary world, who has a multifarious
genius for strong parody ... who deals with death with startling
originality. Who writes amazing sentences'
*New York Times*
'His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of
the perennial joys of modern fiction'
*Mail on Sunday*
