The sixth 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'
*The Times*
'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 Pratchetts work'
*Guardian*
