Description

A Young Dwarf's Dream

Corporal Carrot has been promoted! He's now in charge of the new recruits guarding Ankh-Morpork, Discworld's greatest city, from Barbarian Tribes, Miscellaneous Marauders, unlicensed Thieves, and such. It's a big job, particularly for an adopted dwarf.

But an even bigger job awaits. An ancient document has just revealed that Ankh-Morpork, ruled for decades by Disorganized crime, has a secret sovereign! And his name is Carrott...

And so begins the most awesome epic encounter of all time, or at least all afternoon, in which the fate of a city—indeed of the universe itself!—depends on a young man's courage, an ancient sword's magic, and a three-legged poodle's bladder.

    Good read at a good price. Standard Pratchett Diskworld goodness except I am not a fan of his anti-gun message in the evil gonne plot device.
  • Best Pratchett

    I began reading the Discworld series with Men at Arms, and it remains my favorite of all Pratchett's books.

    Terry Pratchett knows how to make you laugh at something both ridiculous and thought provoking. His varied knowledge shows a well rounded plethora of comedy that will keep you buying his books until you have read and own them all. Buy this book for a true crime and punishment story of hilarity.
