"Shit, glorious shit!
There nothing more fun
than rolling in it!"
Terry has managed to get the publishing rights to Felicity Beedle's excellent short novel which has previously only been published in Ankh-Morpork (and territories). Terry, has, as is his wont, annotated it for our benefit. It tells the tale of young Geoffrey sent to live for a short period (for reasons later revealed) with his influential grand-mama in the great city itself and how he develops a passion for collecting all different kinds of poo and meets many kind people from all walks of life who assist him.
It goes without saying that this is also an informative work which provides the reader with information about the biological necessity for poo and the many uses it can be turned to to enhance the lives of Ankh-Morporkians (and indeed ourselves).
We must also thank Mr Peter Dennis for his excellent illustrations.
Given the success of this tome, we can only hope that Terry can gain the rights to other of Miss Beedle's work (listed in the book) such as Melvin and the Enormous Boil, War with the Snot Goblins, and, of course, Geoffrey and the Land of Poo.
