The fifteenth 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.

'Funny, wise and mock heroic...The funniest and best crafted book I
have read all year'
*Sunday Express*
'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*
'His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of
the perennial joys of modern fiction'
*Mail on Sunday*
'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*
'Persistently amusing, good-hearted and shrewd'
*Sunday Times*
