Terry Pratchett puts his stamp on the thirty-third Discworld novel.
Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling
Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was
published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty
bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies
worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and
screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the
Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to
literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his
greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.

'Like many of Pratchett's best comic novels, it is a book about
redemption ... There's a moral toughness here, which is one of the
reasons why Pratchett is never merely frivolous.'
*Time Out*
With all the puns, strange names and quick-fire jokes about captive
letters demanding to be delivered, it's easy to miss how cross
about injustice Terry Pratchett can be. This darkness and concrete
morality sets his work apart from imitators of his English Absurd
school of comic fantasy.
