Now Death is having the time of his life, finding greener pastures where he can put his scythe to a whole new use. Of course, the last thing anyone needs is a squeamish Grim Reaper and soon his Discworld bosses have sent him off with best wishes and a well-earned gold watch. But that was before Death started pondering the existential.
They say there are only two things you can count on. The trouble really begins once these reluctant foster-godmothers arrive in Genua and must outwit their power-hungry counterpart who'll stop at nothing to achieve a proper "happy ending"-even if it means destroying a kingdom. But the road to Genua is bumpy, and along the way the trio of witches encounters the occasional vampire, werewolf, and falling house (well this is a fairy tale, after all). So now it's up to Magrat Garlick, Granny Weatherwax, and Nanny Ogg to hop on broomsticks and make for far-distant Genua to ensure the servant girl doesn't marry the Prince. Once upon a time there was a fairy godmother named Desiderata who had a good heart, a wise head, and poor planning skills-which, unfortunately, left the Princess Emberella in the care of her other (not quite so good and wise) godmother when death came for Desiderata. Worse still, Moist could swear the mail is talking to him. Getting the moribund Postal Service up and running again, however, may be a near-impossible task, what with literally mountains of decades-old undelivered mail clogging every nook and cranny of the broken-down post office building and with only a few creaky old postmen and one rather unstable, pin-obsessed youth available to deliver it. Since his only other option is a nonliving one, Moist accepts the position-and the hulking golem watchdog who comes along with it, just in case Moist was considering abandoning his responsibilities prematurely.
Instead, it's Lord Vetinari, supreme ruler of Ankh-Morpork, who promptly offers him a job as Postmaster. Below are books from all Discworld storylines. Also included are standalone novels for those interested in a trip to the Discworld without starting from the beginning. These books are filled with memorable characters and lines you'll find yourself quoting months after.Īrch-swindler Moist Van Lipwig never believed his confidence crimes were hanging offenses-until he found himself with a noose tightly around his neck, dropping through a trapdoor, and falling into-a government job? By all rights, Moist should have met his maker. Terry Pratchett is well-known for having hilarious books that adhere to many storylines. Books & Authors Witches, Wizards, Reaper Man: Terry Pratchett
