TheColourOfMagic by Terry Pratchett

Story 1 in the Discworld series

Cover Notes

Jerome K. Jerome meets Lord of the Rings (with a touch of Peter Pan) ...

"On a world supported on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown), a gleeful, explosive, wickedly eccentric expedition sets out. There's an avaricious but inept wizard, a naive tourist whose luggage moves on hundreds of dear little legs, dragons who only exist if you believe in them, and of course THE EDGE of the planet ..."

"The wackiest and most original fantasy since Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy."

The book consists of 4 short stories, although I'm listing them I'm treating them as chapter titles, as Terry Pratchett has written them so that they all run together.

  1. The Colour Of Magic
  2. The Sending Of Eight
  3. The Lure Of The Wyrm
  4. Close To The Edge
Publication History

First published by Gollancz in 1983?
A film of The Colour Of Magic is I believe to be released in 2008. Although as with all books written by high quality word-smiths, I'm wary of its accuracy when compared to the original book. At this point, I haven't seen Hogfather (imdb) (2006?), so I can't compare
