His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal, as well as being awarded a knighthood for services to literature.

Everybody knows there’s no such thing as a female wizard, but on the death of Drum Billet, the universe decided that the eighth son of an eighth son was going to be a daughter and his magic staff was passed to Eskarina (Esk, for short). This was lovely, very different from any other Discworld novel I've read - more charming and less hectic.

So, I´m back from the drunk cell, the pretrial is in 3 weeks, damned criminal records, heck, what a hangover, the brawl might be a reason too, but back to sophisticated literary criticism, beginning with laughing about the dirty old woman running gag and hoping to live long enough to become a dirty old man too.

For Bill Nighy and Peter Serafinowicz I have to wait to comment on, they only "appear" once or twice and not enough for me to say anything other than.This book is our first encounter with Granny Weatherwax, whom I knew from the Tiffany Aching books (my intro to Discworld).

The last thing the wizard Drum Billet did, before Death laid a bony hand on his shoulder, was to pass on his staff of power to the eighth son of an eighth son.
