The eighteenth 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.

'Pratchett is as funny as Wodehouse and as witty as Waugh'
*Independent*
'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*
'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*
'Cracking dialogue, compelling illogic and unchained
whimsy...Pratchett has a subject and a style that is very much his
own'
*Sunday Times*
'Entertaining and gloriously funny'
*Chicago Tribune*
