Rats!
They’re everywhere - in the breadbins, dancing across tabletops, stealing pies from under the cooks’ noses. So what does every town need? A good Piper to lure them away.
That’s where. Maurice comes in. But he’s only a cat (even if one that talks), so although he has the ideas, he needs rats and someone to play the pipe. Who better than the kid to play the pipe? And Dangerous Beans. And Peaches. And Hamnpork (who doesn’t really like what’s been happening since The Change - all a rat leader really needs is to be big and stroppy - thinking is just not his thing). And Darktan. And Sardines. And all the others in the Clan.
Then they arrive in Bad Blintz . . . which is suffering from a plague of rats, and find there are NO rats anywhere (though the two resident rat-catchers seem to have plenty of tails to show, at 50 pence per tail).
Someone else has had ideas, and Maurice is not pleased.
Stephen Briggs they say knows more about Discworld than Tarry Pratchett. He is Boswell to Terry’s Dr Johnson. They collaborated to write the best selling Discworld Companion and a host of other Discworld projects including published dramatizations of Terry’s books.
Amateur groups in over twenty countries have staged the plays and Stephen also directs them himself for a drama club based in Oxford. As a side-line he now sells an exclusive range of Discworld merchandise direct to Terry’s readers, an enterprise he stumbled info by accident.

About The Author
Terry Pratchett is Britain's bestselling living novelist and lives behind a (very upmarket) keyboard in Wiltshire, where he answers letters in a desperate attempt to find time to write. He used to grow carnivorous plants, but now they've taken over the greenhouse and he avoids going in.
He says he doesn't want to get a life after all, because it feels like he's already trying to lead three. He is having a new conservatory built for the carnivorous plants, because they deserve it.

CD Version
You’ve heard of Faust . . . this is Eric.
There’s a difference.
Eric is fourteen, lives on the famed and magical Discworld, and is the first ever demonology hacker. Fortunately, he doesn’t succeed in raising any devils, but he does raise Rincewind (the most incompetent wizard in the universe) and the Luggage (the world’s most dangerous travel accessory).
When Eric turns them loose on an unprotected world, the idea is that Rincewind will grant him his three rather adolescent wishes. You know, the usual three - live forever, rule the world, meet the most beautiful woman who ever lived. Simple, really.
Getting marooned at the dawn of Time, changing the future and meeting history’s most embarrassing god is only the start. Creating life on the Discworld is a mere detail.
Because Rincewind ends up going through Hell. Literally.

A Discworld Novel
Time is a resource. Everyone knows it has to be managed. And on the Discworld that is the job of the Monks of History, who store it and pump it from the places where it’s wasted (like underwater - how much time does a codfish need?) to places like cities, where there’s never enough of it.
But the construction of the world’s first truly accurate clock starts a race against, well, time for Lu Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd. Because it will stop time. And that will be only the start of everyone’s problems.
Thief of Time comes with a full supporting cast of heroes and villains, yetis, martial artists and Ronnie, the fifth horseman of the Apocalypse (who left before they became famous).

A Discworld Novel
William de Worde is the accidental editor of the Discworld’s first newspaper. Now he must cope with the traditional perils of a journalist’s life - people who want him dead, a recovering vampire with a suicidal fascination for flash photography, some more people who want him dead in a different way and, worst of all, the man who keeps begging him to publish pictures of his humourously shaped potatoes.
William just wants to get at the truth. Unfortunately, everyone else just wants to get at William and its only the third edition
