Fantasy
The terrific first novel in The City Watch Discworld sequence -- soon to be a BBC television show -- now illustrated by Paul Kidby! With ten full-colour illustrations and more pencil drawings inside, this is the ultimate edition of a much-loved Pratchett classic.
'A sequence of unalloyed delight' The Guardian
This is where the dragons went. They lie . . . not dead, not asleep, but . . . dormant.
And although the space they occupy isn't like normal space, nevertheless they are packed in tightly. They could put you in mind of a can of sardines, if you thought sardines were huge and scaly. And presumably, somewhere, there's a key to let them out.
Captain Sam Vimes of the Night Watch is going to have a doozy of a night when they are.
This edition features ten glorious full-colour illustrations and further pencil drawings by Terry Pratchett's artist of choice, Paul Kidby.
