Description
"If you are unfamiliar with Pratchetts unique blend of philosophical badinage interspersed with slapstick, you are on the threshold of a mind-expanding opportunity. Financial Times
Chaos ensues when Discworlds deliciously hapless wizard Rincewind goes walking about in the Down Under in this wonderfully witty satire from legendary internationally bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett.
Theres big trouble at the Unseen University, Ankh-Morporks prestigious and only institute of higher learning. A professor is missingand the one person who can find him is not only the most bumbling magician the school ever produced, hes currently stranded in Fourecks, Discworlds last (and unfinished) continent. The down-under is hot (so hot) and its dry (so dry)though its rumored there was once this thing called The Wet, but no one believes that. Practically everything here thats not poisonous is venomous.
Discworlds most inept wizard and his companion, Luggage, are eager to get homebut first Rincewind has to survive a pushy mystical kangaroo trickster named Scrappy and a mob of Fourecks hooligans determined to hang him. All his problems would be solved if he could just make it rain . . . for (maybe) the first time ever. And if the time-traveling professors from UU working on rescuing him can get to the right millennium . . .
