Summary

'When you start believing in Spirits, you start believing in demons, and then before you know where you are, you're believing in Gods. But sometimes when there's more than one reality at play, imagination just won't be neutralised, and the walls between realities come tumbling down.

Lords And Ladies Summary

Lords And Ladies: (Discworld Novel 14) by Terry Pratchett

'When you start believing in Spirits, you start believing in demons, and then before you know where you are, you're believing in Gods. And then you're in trouble.' Reality is all very well in small doses. It's a perfectly conventional and convenient way of neutralising the imagination. But sometimes when there's more than one reality at play, imagination just won't be neutralised, and the walls between realities come tumbling down. Unfortunately there's usually a damned good reason for there being walls between them in the first place. To keep things out. Things who want to make mischief and play havoc with the natural order...

Lords And Ladies Reviews

Like Jonathan Swift, Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own, and like Swift he is a satirist of enormous talent ... incredibly funny ... compulsively readable * The Times *
Pratchett is at the peak of his power; it's hard to think of any humorist writing in Britain today who can match him * Time Out *
The great Terry Pratchett, whose wit is metaphysical, who creates an energetic and lively secondary world, who has a multifarious genius for strong parody ... who deals with death with startling originality. Who writes amazing sentences -- A.S. Byatt * New York Times *
His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction * Mail on Sunday *
