The New Discworld Companion

The Discworld started out as fantasy, but now it's all real. The seasoned Discworld traveller knows exactly how to get from Madams' Gardens to the Mended Drum (left up Easy Street, right onto Welcome Soap, fork left onto Filigree Street and the Drum is on the left, just opposite the Short Street turn). Travelling around a world so well-defined, but dangerous, without a guide, could be a very courageous choice. Since the last revision to the Discworld Companion , new areas of the Disc have been explored, new characters discovered. We've trembled under the chandelier at the Ankh-Morpork Opera House, we've flown with vampyres over the mysterious country of Uberwald, we've sliced through time with the History Monks and we've marvelled at Mr Wintler's humorously shaped vegetables. Stephen Briggs is the Discworld's cartographer, historian and herald. It's rumoured that in certain specialised areas he knows even more about Discworld than Terry Pratchett. In any case, they have together produced a new and revised edition of their bestselling guide to the worlds' most famous fictional world: its flora , fauna, outstanding personalities, customs and institutions. Comes complete with illustrations and highlights of Discworld heraldry.
