A laugh-out-loud, perceptive and thought-provoking fantasy romp
dismantling the ridiculousness of gender inequality 'Granny
Weatherwax is one of my favourite characters of Pratchett's'
Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of
the Wind 'Persistently amusing, good-hearted and shrewd' Sunday
Times It is known as the Discworld. It is a flat planet, supported
on the backs of four elephants, who in turn stand on the back of
the great turtle A'Tuin as it swims majestically through space. And
it is quite possibly the funniest place in all of creation. The
last thing the wizard Drum Billet did, before Death laid a bony
hand on his shoulder, was to pass on his staff of power to the
eighth son of an eighth son. Unfortunately for his colleagues in
the chauvinistic (not to say misogynistic) world of magic, he
failed to check on the new-born baby's sex... Terry Pratchett turns
his acute satirical eye on sexual equality and chauvinism in his
hilarious third Discworld novel. Readers love Equal Rites: 'If you
enjoy British humour, witty prose, and irreverent fantasy, then
you'll enjoy this book. It's original, fun, and entertaining'
Goodreads reviewer, 'This was just so incredibly funny, brilliantly
written and truly a joy to read . . . just a laugh from start to
finish, as well as being a great story' Goodreads reviewer, 'This
book is vintage Discworld and these two, along with others, appear
again and again later in the series . . . Pratchett's humour is
here in full force along with his wonderful descriptions and clever
stories' Goodreads reviewer, 'This is a very fun approach to
standard fantasy creatures such as witches and wizards . . . The
writing style has a touch of humour to it and flows very easily.
You pick up the book and never want to put it down' Goodreads
reviewer, 'Equal Rights was magical, at times funny, contained some
philosophical quotes and a light read' Goodreads reviewer, 'Granny
was such an awesome character, she totally stole the show.
Actually, it's a tie between Granny and the magical staff, I know
it's just a stick but it's a very expressive stick!' Goodreads
reviewer,
