The first novel of the Discworld series On a world supported on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown), a wickedly eccentric expedition sets out. There’s Rincewind, an avaricious but inept wizard, Twoflower, a naive tourist whose murderous luggage moves on hundreds of little legs, dragons who only exist if you believe in them, and of course, the Edge of the Discworld, and its circumfence. . . ‘Pratchett is very good indeed’ - Standard -
The Colour of Magic & The Light Fantastic This is how the Discworld began... In The Colour of Magic the failed wizard Rincewind burst upon the world and hasn't stopped running since. This was the book that started the phenomenally successful fantasy series. Here is the sapient pearwood Luggage, a mobile trunk which launders any clothes put in it and incidentally homicidally defends its owner. Here is Twoflower, an innocent tourist in a world of nightmares and fairy tales gone wrong. Here is Cohen the Barbarian, the world's oldest and greatest hero. Here is Death, not such a bad sort when you get to know him... They have adventures. It'd take to long too explain. Just read it! First published in 1983, The Colour of Magic has been translated into thirty languages, and has sold over two million copies in Corgi editions alone. The Light Fantastic, published in 1986, follows closely behind, and of all the Discworld novels it is the only true sequel to an earlier work. This two-in-one volume was first published in 1999. -

So I’ll let you off lightly. We’ll have you birched in public today. You spend tonight buried up to the neck in the public dungheap. Tomorrow morning, we’ll put you on a boat. Three leagues from shore, you’ll be thrown overboard. That is my justice.’ Drake knew he had got a good deal. -
21.6 x 13.8 cm. 283 pp. 1987 The third volume in the Chronicles of an Age of Darkness series ‘Lord Alagrace said you’d help.’ ‘Any oracle can give you a reading,’ replied Yen Olass. ‘I told Alagrace an oracle couldn’t help me,’ said the Ondrask. ‘I told him I wasn’t interested in a reading. But he told me you’d do better than that. He told me you’d fix it.’ ‘What?’ said Yen Olass. She was genuinely shocked, and it took a lot to shock her.
