Terry Pratchett's Interesting times

About This Book

Adapted from Terry Pratchett's best-selling novel, 'Interesting Times' premiered in Abingdon in 2001. It is a Discworld story about barbarians, revolutionaries, assassinations, desperate battles and a travel memoir. Rincewind, Discworld's most inept wizard, has been sent from Unseen University in Ankh-Morpork to the oppressive Agatean Empire, to help some well-intentioned revolutionaries overthrow the Emperor. He's assisted by toy-rabbit-wielding rebels, an army of terracotta warriors, a tax gatherer and a group of seven very elderly barbarian heroes lead by Cohen the Barbarian. Opposing him is the evil and manipulative Lord Hong and his army of 750,000 men. Rincewind is also aided by Twoflower - Discworld's first tourist and the author of a subversive book called 'What I Did On My Holidays' about his visit to Ankh-Morpork, which has inspired the rebels in their struggle for freedom.
