The sixth 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 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'
*The Times*
'One of the perennial joys of modern fiction'
*Mail on Sunday*
'One of the pleasures of the book is the way in which literary
classics float effortlessly through them in a way that would be
pounced on as inter-textual in another author but is never allowed
to become strident or alienating in Pratchett's work'
*Guardian*
