A beautiful gift-edition hardback of the classic Discworld novel.
OTHER CHILDREN GET GIVEN XYLOPHONES. SUSAN JUST HAD TO ASK HER GRANDFATHER TO TAKE HIS VEST OFF.
Yes. There's a Death in the family.

It's lawless. It changes people.
It's called Music With Rocks In.
It's got a beat and you can dance to it, but. . .
It's alive.
And it won't fade away.
