What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Maurice, an amazing cat who has survived four years on the toughest streets in the whole of the Discworld, reckons that rats are dumb. Clever, OK, but dumb. Maurice, however, is smart. Smart enough to recognize that there's a new kind of rat around - rats who have been eating wizards' rubbish and can now talk. Smart enough to get a pretty amazing idea when he spots a stupid-looking kid playing the flute...
Now Maurice has his very own 'plague of rats' - and his own Pied Piper. And his money-bags are getting fuller and fuller. Until the group reach the farflung village of Bad Blintz...
Critics Review
-
Ethically challenging, beautifully orchestrated, philosophically opposed to the usual plot fixes of fantasy
The Guardian -
Simply gripping story-telling
The Times -
Powerful, passionate, mordantly funny and, at one point, unbearably sad
Daily Telegraph -
An astonishing novel…I marvelled at the ferociousness of the humour, and the willingness to go into dark places
Financial Times -
Great yarn written in fairly simple text
