Klappentext
Discover the gloriously inventive and funny fantasy novel from bestselling author Terry Pratchett, the perfect present for anyone who's ever wondered what this Christmas malarky is all about!
'Our best comic novelist' New Scientist
'A great Christmas tale that's as silly as it is deep in the way few authors can achieve' 5-star reader review
'Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.'
'Twas the night before Hogswatch and all through the house . . . something was missing.
Superstition makes things work in the Discworld and undermining it can have consequences.
When Death realizes that belief in the Hogfather is dangerously low, he decides to take on the job. But it's just not right to find a seven-foot skeleton creeping down your chimney and trying to say 'ho, ho, ho'.
It's the last night of the year, the time is turning, and if Susan, gothic governess and Death's granddaughter, doesn't sort everything out by morning, there won't be a morning. Ever again . . .
You can read the Discworld novels in any order and Hogfather is a great place to start this festive period.
