A beautifully imagined world and wonderfully described characters, when added to the mix, make this a must read novel. This novel is very different from most fantasy novels and a breath of fresh air. The action starts in Ahnk Morpork, a city that becomes firmly implanted in the memory. This is an excellent place to start for any reader yet to read a Pratchett novel as it gives the background history of the main characters. Terry Pratchett takes the seriousness from the fantasy novel and replaces it with wicked humour. After Twoflower's wealth causes Ahnk Morpork to set on fire, they embark on an adventure that will involve visits to the Temple of Bel-Shamroth and encounters with trolls, dragons and Krullians.
Twoflower, and his menacing luggage arrive in Ahnk Morpork as the first ever tourist and employ the failed wizard Rincewind as a guide. Rincewind, the wizard and Twoflower, the Discworld's first tourist encounter DEATH and Hrun the Barbarian on their journey through the Discworld.
Terry Pratchett's first Discworld novel, The Colour Of Magic is set on a world sitting on the backs of four elephants hurtling through space.
