"Has the energy of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the inventiveness of Alice in Wonderland... It has also an intelligent wit and a truly original grim and comic grasp of the nature of things" - A. S. Byatt, The Sunday Times

Synopsis

t's the night before Hogswatch, usually a time of joy on Discworld, but there are suspicious goings-on and the criminal underworld is abuzz. The beloved Hogfather - the jolly bearer of glee and pork-related gifts for children everywhere - has vanished!

Suddenly, Discworld's entire mythical system is under threat. The fate of this magical time rests in the hands of a very motley group: A band of wizards headed up by a mystical university president named Mustrum Ridcully; a loyal manservant who goes by the of Albert; a level headed governess called Susan Sto Helit; and her grandfather, who happens to be - Death.

Plans must be made, trolls must be fought, fairies must be rescued, and DEATH must take up the reins at the helm of the Hogfather's abandoned sleigh, if the Hogfather, and possibly more importantly, the holiday, is to be saved. HO! HO! HO!
