The post was an old thing, of course, but it was so old that it had magically become new again. Moist von Lipwig is a con artist and a fraud and a man faced with a life choice: be hanged, or put Ankh-Morpork’s ailing postal service back on its feet. It’s a tough decision. The…

Saying it with frozen roses and icebergs
Tiffany Aching leaps into a dance – and suddenly the spirit of winter is in love with her. He’s showering her with snowflakes and offering her a crown of ice. Which is creepy, but also just a little bit . . . cool.
Now she’s dancing to his tune. She can’t change the steps.
But unless Tiffany can work out how to deal with the Wintersmith, there will never be another springtime . . .
It’s an offer you can’t refuse. Who would not to wish to be the man in charge of Ankh-Morpork’s Royal Mint and the bank next door?

The fourth book in the incredible Tiffany Aching series. Now in a brand-new gift edition, part of the Discworld Hardback Library!
‘Writing at the height of his powers . . . [Terry Pratchett] makes us laugh a lot.’ The Sunday Times
As the witch of the Chalk, Tiffany Aching performs the distinctly unglamorous work of caring for the needy.
But someone – or something – is inciting fear, generating dark thoughts and angry murmurs against witches.
Tiffany must find the source of unrest and defeat the evil at its root. Aided by the tiny-but-tough Wee Free Men, Tiffany faces a dire challenge, for if she falls, the whole Chalk falls with her . .
The Discworld is very much like our own – if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is . . .
‘The jurisdiction of a good man extends to the end of the world.’
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman taking a holiday would barely have had time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse.
Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is on holiday in the pleasant and innocent countryside, but not for him a mere body in the wardrobe. There are many, many bodies – and an ancient crime more terrible than murder.
He is out of his jurisdiction, out of his depth, out of bacon sandwiches; and out of his mind. But never out of guile. Where there is a crime there must be a punishment.
They say that in the end all sins are forgiven.
Vimes is about to uncover the exception.
To the consternation of the patrician, Lord Vetinari, a new invention has arrived in Ankh-Morpork – a great clanging monster of a machine that harnesses the power of all of the elements: earth, air, fire and water. This being Ankh-Morpork, it’s soon drawing astonished crowds, some of whom caught the zeitgeist early and arrive armed with notepads and very sensible rainwear.
Moist von Lipwig is not a man who enjoys hard work – as master of the Post Office, the Mint and the Royal Bank his input is, of course, vital . . . but largely dependent on words, which are fortunately not very heavy and don’t always need greasing. However, he does enjoy being alive, which makes a new job offer from Vetinari hard to refuse . . .
Steam is rising over Discworld, driven by Mister Simnel, the man wi’ t’flat cap and sliding rule who has an interesting arrangement with the sine and cosine. Moist will have to grapple with gallons of grease, goblins, a fat controller with a history of throwing employees down the stairs and some very angry dwarfs if he’s going to stop it all going off the rails . . .

‘This isn’t just a great Discworld book, it’s extraordinary . . . A magnificent sign-off.’ Daily Telegraph
THE FINAL DISCWORLD NOVEL
Deep in the Chalk, something is stirring. The owls and the foxes can sense it, and Tiffany Aching feels it in her boots. An old enemy is gathering strength.
This is a time of endings and beginnings, old friends and new, a blurring of edges and a shifting of power. Now Tiffany stands between the light and the dark, the good and the bad.
As the fairy horde prepares for invasion, Tiffany must summon all the witches to stand with her. To protect the land. Her land.
There will be a reckoning . . .
All Three Instalments Of The Magnificent Bromeliad Trilogy Available In One Special Hardback Edition; Diggers, Wings and Truckers
To the thousands of tiny nomes living under the floorboards of a large department Store, there is no Outside. No Day or Night, no Sun or Rain. They’re just daft old legends. Until they hear the devastating news that the Store is to be demolished…
And so, their journey begins.
From the store to an abandoned quarry – where they find the monster Jekub – and on to a place where they must steal one of those space shuttle things, all the nomes want is to get home again.
They don’t mean to cause any trouble…
A magnificent trilogy of tales about a race of little people struggling to survive in a world full of humans.
‘Pratchett gives his cast plenty of personality and fuels the plot with nonstop comedy.’ Kirkus Reviews
‘Witty, funny, wise and altogether delightful.’ Locus
Humanity has been forecasting the end of the world almost from its very beginning. It is therefore natural to greet a fresh prediction of Judgement Day with a healthy dose of scepticism. But what if this time the foretelling proves accurate and the apocalypse is truly scheduled for next Saturday, just after tea? One could spend the remaining hours drowning sorrows, giving away all possessions in preparation for the rapture, or simply laughing the whole thing off as yet another hoax.
Or one could decide to do something about it.
That is exactly the dilemma at the heart of Good Omens, the brilliantly funny and endlessly quotable novel created by the combined talents of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. In this special Collectors Library Edition, readers are invited into a story where the forces of Heaven and Hell have been preparing for the final battle for centuries, only for everything to go gloriously wrong. With the Antichrist misplaced, ancient prophecies in disarray, and the fate of the planet resting on the unlikely shoulders of a demon who quite likes the world as it is and an angel who has grown rather fond of his bookshop, the stage is set for chaos, comedy and a great deal of tea.
Written with the sharp wit and satirical bite that made Pratchett a household name and the inventive storytelling that defines Gaiman’s work, Good Omens blends laugh-out-loud humour with genuine warmth and insight. It pokes gentle fun at bureaucracy, religion, the end times and humanity itself, all while delivering characters you will remember long after the final page. Whether you are discovering the book for the first time or returning to an old favourite, this handsome Collectors Library Edition makes the perfect addition to any shelf.
Ideal for fans of the Discworld series, lovers of clever fantasy, or anyone who enjoys a story that is equal parts hilarious and thought-provoking, Good Omens remains as fresh and relevant today as when it first appeared. Order your copy now and join Crowley and Aziraphale in their unforgettable attempt to save the world, one cup of tea at a time.
Finding himself alone on a desert island when everything and everyone he knows and loved has been washed away in a huge storm, Mau is the last surviving member of his nation. He’s also completely alone – or so he thinks until he finds the ghost girl. She has no toes, wears strange lacy trousers like the grandfather bird and gives him a stick that can make fire.
Daphne, sole survivor of the wreck of the Sweet Judy, almost immediately regrets trying to shoot the native boy. Thank goodness the powder was wet and the gun only produced a spark. She’s certain her father, distant cousin of the Royal family, will come and rescue her, but it seems, for now, all she has for company is the boy and the foul-mouthed ship’s parrot.
As it happens, they are not alone for long. Other survivors start to arrive to take refuge on the island they all call the Nation, and then raiders accompanied by murderous mutineers from the Sweet Judy. Together, Mau and Daphne discover some remarkable things – including how to milk a pig and why spitting in beer is a good thing – and start to forge a new Nation.
As can be expected from Terry Pratchett, the master story-teller, this new children’s novel is both witty and wise, encompassing themes of death and nationhood, while being extremely funny. Mau’s ancestors have something to teach us all. Mau just wishes they would shut up about it and let him get on with saving everyone’s lives!
