Discworld: Book 1: The Colour Of Magic

Product Description

NAMED AS ONE OF THE BBC’S 100 MOST INSPIRING NOVELS.

In the beginning there was…a turtle.

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place which might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle. It plays by different rules.

But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

Unfortunately, the person charged with maintaining that survival in the face of robbers, mercenaries and, well, Death, is a spectacularly inept wizard…

The Colour of Magic is the first book in the Wizards series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.
