Description
The fourth Discworld novel, revamped for a new generation of readers...
'Cracking dialogue, compelling illogic and unchained whimsy' — Sunday Times
The Discworld is very much like our own—if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is...
Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job.
Death is the Grim Reaper of the Discworld, a black-robed skeleton carrying a scythe, who must collect a minimum number of souls in order to keep the momentum of dying, well... alive.
He is also fond of cats and endlessly baffled by humanity. Soon Death is yearning to experience what humanity really has to offer... but to do that, he'll need to hire some help.
It's an offer Mort can't refuse. As Death's apprentice, he'll have free board, use of the company horse—and being dead isn't compulsory. It's a dream job—until Mort falls in love with Death's daughter, Ysabell, and discovers that your boss can be a killer on your love life...
The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Mort is the first book in the Death series.

About the Author
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. www.terrypratchettbooks.com
