NAMED ONE OF THE BBC'S 100 NOVELS THAT SHAPED OUR WORLD
A beautiful gift-edition hardback of the classic Discworld novel.
MIGHTY BATTLES! REVOLUTION! DEATH! WAR! (AND HIS SONS TERROR AND PANIC, AND DAUGHTER CLANCY).
The oldest and most inscrutable empire on the Discworld is in turmoil, brought about by the revolutionary treatise: What I did on My Holidays. Workers are uniting, with nothing to lose but their water buffaloes. Warlords are struggling for power. War (and Clancy) are spreading throughout the ancient cities.
And all that stands in the way of terrible doom for everyone is:
Rincewind the Wizard, who can't even spell the word 'wizard'...
Cohen the barbarian hero, five foot tall in his surgical sandals, who has had a lifetime's experience of not dying...
...and a very special butterfly.

His books have sold approximately 75 million copies worldwide (but who's counting ), and been translated into 37 languages. Terry Pratchett lives near Salisbury in Wiltshire.
