Terry Pratchett's hilarious fourth Discworld novel established once and for all that Death really is a laughing matter....
'He is screamingly funny. He is wise. He has style' Daily Telegraph
'His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction' Mail on Sunday
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...
Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job.
After being assured that being dead was not compulsory, Mort accepted. However, he soon found that romantic longings did not mix easily with the responsibilities of being Death's apprentice.

First Sentence
"This is the bright candlelit room where the life-timers are stored-shelf upon shelf of them, squat hourglasses, one for every living person, pouring their fine sand from the future into the past."
