Summary: Everyone knows that Discworld is flat, and supported on the backs of four elephants. But weren't there supposed to be five? This latest novel in today's most entertaining and intelligent ongoing satirical series answers that question, as well as raising several others concerning a dwarf coronation, a sudden assassin, a stolen scone, and a policeman who is forced to play diplomat, ruby tights and all. The Discworld series starts anywhere. You don't have to read them all -- but you'll want to!
