In this standalone Discworld novel, bestselling fantasy grandmaster Sir Terry Pratchett turns a classic fairy tale on its head, and no one will ever look at the Pied Piper—or rats—the same way again!
“Hilarious, moving, scary, impishly vulgar, and wickedly wise.” —
Locus
The Amazing Maurice runs the perfect Pied Piper scam. This streetwise alley cat knows the value of cold, hard cash and can talk his way into and out of anything. But when Maurice and his cohorts decide to con the town of Bad Blinitz, it will take more than fast talking to survive the danger that awaits.
For this is a town where food is scarce and rats are hated, where cellars are lined with deadly traps, and where a terrifying evil lurks beneath the hunger-stricken streets....
The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but
The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents
is a standalone.
This book’s feline hero was first mentioned in the Discworld novel
Reaper Man
and stars in the movie version of his adventure,
The Amazing Maurice
, featuring David Tenant, Emilia Clarke, Hamish Patel, and Hugh Laurie. Fans of Maurice will relish the adventures of Tiffany Aching, starting with
The Wee Free Men
and
A Hat Full of Sky
