The fairies are back, but this time they don't just want your teeth . . . Granny Weatherwax and her tiny coven are up against real elves. There's a full supporting cast of dwarfs, wizards, trolls, Morris dancers and one orangutan. It's Midsummer Night -- no time for dreaming. And lots of hey-nonny-nonny and blood all over the place.
Review
'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 'Pratchett is at the peak of his power; It's hard to think of any humorist writing in Britain today who can match him' - Time Out '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 'His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction' - Mail on Sunday
