The Illustrated Guards! Guards! Summary

The Illustrated Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett

'A sequence of unalloyed delight' The Guardian

This is where the dragons went. They lie . . . not dead, not asleep, but . . . dormant.

And although the space they occupy isn't like normal space, nevertheless they are packed in tightly. They could put you in mind of a can of sardines, if you thought sardines were huge and scaly. And presumably, somewhere, there's a key to let them out.

Captain Sam Vimes of the Night Watch is going to have a doozy of a night when they are.

This edition features ten glorious full-colour illustrations and further pencil drawings by Terry Pratchett's artist of choice, Paul Kidby.

'One of Pratchett's best books. Hilarious and highly recommended' The Times

About Terry Pratchett

Sir Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was avoiding writing any.
