Synopsis

'Look after the dead', said the priests, 'and the dead will look after you.'Wise words in all probability, but a tall order when you have just become the pharaoh of a small and penniless country whose largesse - and indeed treasury - is unlikely to stretch to the building of a monumental pyramid to honour your dead father. And particularly when your only visible means of support is a recently acquired qualification from the Guild of Assassins where running a kingdom and basic financial acumen were not prerequisites for course entry.

Editorial Reviews

"'Like Dickens, much of Pratchett's appeal lies in his humanism, both in a sentimental regard for his characters' good fortune, and in that his writing is generous-spirited and inclusive'" - Guardian

"'As funny as Wodehouse and as witty as Waugh'" - Independent

"'Imagine a collision between Jonathan Swift at his most scatologically-minded and J.R.R. Tolkien on speed'" - Daily Telegraph

"'The best kind of parody - funny and smart and still a good story'" - Mail on Sunday
