'''The Definitive Good Omens''' also called 'The Illustrated Good Omens' is an edition of {{GO}} released close to the airing date and with new art based on the [[TV and Film:Good Omens|Good Omens TV series]].

==Blurb==
There is a hint of Armageddon in the air. According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of [[Agnes Nutter]], Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her entire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. So the Armies of Good and Evil are massing, [[Four Other Riders Of The Apocalypse|the four Bikers of the Apocalypse]] are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world’s last two remaining [[Witchfinder Army|witchfinders]] are getting ready to Fight the Good Fight. [[Atlantis]] is rising. Frogs are falling. Tempers are flaring, and everything appears to be going to Divine Plan.

Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. They’ve lived amongst Humanity for millennia, and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle. So if [[Crowley]] and [[Aziraphale]] are going to stop it from happening, they’ve got to find and kill the [[Adam Young|AntiChrist]] (which is a shame, really, as he’s a nice kid). There’s just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him.

This edition features a new revised text, approved by [[Neil Gaiman]] and the Pratchett Estate, which clears up many typos and errors from previous editions. It also features twelve full-colour illustrations from [[Paul Kidby]] – [[Biography|Terry Pratchett’s]] artist of choice – and further pencil drawings.

==Editions==
Along with the standard edition another four special editions have been published, some available only from [[Discworld.com]] and paulkidby.com:
*Slipcase Edition-Includes a numbered tipped-in sheet signed by Paul Kidby.
*Occult Edition-Hardback in a 'snakeskin' clam-shell box, with metallic red page edges and a numbered tipped-in sheet signed by Paul Kidby.
*Ineffable Edition-Hardback in a deluxe presentation box, with gold page edges, and a numbered tipped-in sheet signed by Neil Gaiman and Paul Kidby. Separate folio of Good Omens ephemera, copy of 'William the Antichrist.'
*Celestial Edition-Leather-bound hardback in an artisan presentation box, with gold foil page edges. Each copy individually hand-printed and bound. Named tipped-in sheets, each corresponding to a letter of the Greek alphabet, signed by Neil Gaiman and Paul Kidby. Separate folio of Good Omens ephemera, copy of 'William the Antichrist.'

The bookshop Waterstones released another new paperback edition of {{GO}} which, along with with a new cover and end-papers, contained the same 'definitive' text as ''The Definitive Good Omens'' but without the artwork by Paul Kidby.

Radio Adaptations

One of the many adaptations of [[Biography|Terry Pratchett's]] works has been radio plays. Radio plays are different from straight readings of the novels, e.g. audio books, as they have a full cast to play the characters and only dialogue is read. The plays have mostly been broadcast on BBC Radio 4, BBC 7 and online on BBC Radio 4 Extra, several of the plays are still repeated on these channels periodically. There also have been serialised readings of several novels. [http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03mz1wb Terry Pratchett BBC Radio Homepage].

'''The Amazing Maurice''' is an animated feature film [[TV and film adaptations|adaptation]] of {{TAM}}, produced by Cantilever Media and Ulysses Filmproduktion for Sky Cinema, in conjunction with [[Narrativia (production company)|Narrativia]].

It is the first feature film adaptation of [[Terry Pratchett]]'s works and the first to be originally screened in cinemas. It’s UK premiere was at the Manchester Animation Festival, though it's first broad release in the UK was on Sky Cinema's pay television network in December 2023. It was released worldwide in early 2023.

== Blurb ==
[[Maurice]], a [[Real Cat|streetwise cat]], has the perfect money-making scam. He’s found a [[Keith the Piper|dumb-looking kid]] who plays a pipe, and his very own [[The Clan|horde of rats]] – rats who are strangely educated, and literate, so Maurice can no longer think of them as “lunch”. And everyone knows the stories about rats and pipers... However, when Maurice and the rodents reach the stricken town of [[Bad Blintz]], their little con goes down the drain. For someone there is playing a different tune. A dark, shadowy tune. Something very, very bad is waiting in the cellars. It’s not a game anymore. It’s a rat-eat-rat world down there and the educated rats must learn a new word...EVIL.

== Differences from the novel ==
While the film is broadly faithful to the plot of the book, in order to fit the medium, the runtime and perhaps a broader (and younger) audience, many things are simplified. Here are some of the biggest changes.
* The character of [[Hamnpork]], and much of the subplot of the rats moving on from their old ways, are not in the film. (The group embrace the Mr Bunnsy inspired search for paradise.)
* [[Maurice]] does not always hide his ability to talk. In the first scam at the start of the film, he takes a much more active role, directly talking to the village’s inhabitants about the rats and telling them “the Piper” is the solution. (One child in the crowd repeatedly points out that it’s a talking cat, establishing this is meant to be unusual, but the rest of the crowd take no notice.)
* The rat catchers make the Rat King by accident, rather than deliberately as a masterwork. It controls them directly using greed and fear, rather than subtly influencing their minds. In this version all Rat Kings have “mind power” (rather than it being implied Spider is special because eight is a magical number), though the Boss Man does a version of the “one mind is as strong as one mind [...] and eight minds are...one” speech from the book and we do see there are eight rats making up the Rat King.
* The Rat King controls a large number of rats inside a coat, scarf, hat and mittens, allowing it to masquerade as the “Boss Man” of the rat catchers. It doesn’t use the name “Spider”. When it lures in Dangerous Beans, it’s inside the Mayor’s office.
* The Mayor is more suspicious of the rat catchers, suggesting that perhaps there’s a connection between the missing food and the rats they’ve supposedly eradicated, but is intimidated by the “Boss Man” and drops this line of questioning.
* Clicky the clockwork mouse is magically alive, though this is played for laughs. It refuses to enter a trap when it’s scared, and later in the film shows up to save the day. In the finale, it is shown to have a family of clockwork mice with an alarm clock.
* The “real” Pied Piper in the film has a magic flute and lives in a cottage in the woods near Bad Blintz. Rather than arriving for a showdown with Keith, Malicia knows that his magical pipe is the only thing that can break the power of a Rat King, so they go looking for him to steal it. When he discovers them, he uses the pipe to make them walk into his oven. (In witch terms, he's gone a bit “[[Black Aliss]]”; Malicia says the situation is “so Hansel and Gretel”.) After they escape with his pipe he’s not seen again.
* The rats become part of the town of Bad Blintz, turning it into a tourist attraction as in the book, but there’s no discussion with the Mayor about how it will all work; it's just part of the happy ending.
* Much more of Malicia’s discussion of stories are about whether or not she and Keith will be a couple, and romance tropes in general. They kiss in the end, and Malicia says he “kisses rather well” during her final narration. (Both characters seem older in the film than in the book.)

== Easter eggs ==
As well as being implicitly set on the Discworld (we see a drawing of the Disc on A’Tuin with the turtles, and “[[Unseen University]] of [[Ankh-Morpork]]” is explicitly mentioned), there are many references to Pratchett and the Discworld novels scattered throughout the film.

A few to look for:
* Malicia has a copy of ''[[Twurp's Peerage]]'' on a lectern, and a life-sized metal statue of [[the Luggage]] (it appears to be a functional chest, perhaps made of copper).
* The fountain in Bad Blintz’s town square is a statue of a dragon coming out of a toilet; possibly a [[swamp dragon]]?
* There is a bust of [[Terry Pratchett]] in the Mayor’s office.
* In a nod to the town being in [[Überwald]], Malicia’s chair, the Mayor’s blanket, the label on the rat poison and the town’s crest are all decorated with bats. (Rats are added to the crest at the end.)
* When he considers abandoning the rats, Maurice thinks about going to sea, having “always wanted to be a ship’s cat”. This is a nod to one of Pratchett’s unfinished books, mentioned in the afterword of {{TSC}}.
* [[Rincewind]] and [[Twoflower]] turn up in Bad Blintz at the end; quite appropriate now it's a tourist attraction. Rincewind is also seen dumping rubbish in a flashback, where we see the [[Tower of Art]]. (The rest of Unseen University seems to be literally invisible.)
* Terry Pratchett’s name is on the cover of the book of the story glimpsed at the end of the film.

== Cast ==
* Hugh Laurie as [[Maurice]]
* Emilia Clarke as [[Malicia Grim]]
* David Thewlis as Boss Man and [[Rat King]]
* Himesh Patel as [[Keith the Piper|Keith]]
* David Tennant as [[Dangerous Beans]]
* Gemma Arterton as [[Peaches]]
* Ariyon Bakare as [[Darktan]]
* Joe Sugg as [[Sardines]]
* Julie Atherton as [[Nourishing]]
* Hugh Bonneville as The Mayor
* Rob Brydon as The Pied Piper
* Peter Serafinowicz as [[Death]]
* Florian Westermann as Ratcatcher Billy
* Toby Genkel as Ratcatcher Ron
* Megan Giglia as In-Brine
* Leona Liberty as Sell-By

As well as the directors appearing as the rat-catchers, [[Rob Wilkins]] makes a cameo appearance as the Rat Pit Dog Handler, and members of the producer’s families provide voices for some of the villagers.

==Tie-in Books==
Several books and new covers were released to tie-in with the release of the film:
* {{TAM}} - with a new cover, plus an introduction by [[Rob Wilkins]] telling the story of how the book was imagined by Terry.
* {{TUC}} - with a new cover and altered title, ''The Unadulterated Maurice'', plus a new introduction by [[Rhianna Pratchett]].
* ''[[Book:Mr. Bunnsy has an Adventure|Mr. Bunnsy Has An Adventure]]'' - a facsimile edition of the book from the story, as it appears in the film.
* ''[[Book:The Amazing Maurice The Art Of The Film|The Amazing Maurice The Art Of The Film]]''

'''Terry Pratchett: A Life With Footnotes''' is the official biography of the author, written by his long-time Personal Assistant [[Rob Wilkins]] and drawing on Pratchett's own notes for an autobiography.

==Blurb==
'PEOPLE THINK THAT STORIES ARE SHAPED BY PEOPLE. IN FACT, IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND.'

At the time of his death in 2015, award-winning and bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett was working on his finest story yet - his own.

At six years old, Terry was told by his headteacher that he would never amount to anything. He spent the rest of his life proving that teacher wrong. At sixty-six, Terry had lived a life full of achievements: becoming one of the UK's bestselling writers, winning the Carnegie Medal and being awarded a knighthood for services to literature.

Following his untimely death from Alzheimer's disease, the mantle of completing Terry's memoir was passed to Rob Wilkins, his former assistant, friend and now head of the author's literary estate.

Drawing on his own extensive memories, along with those of Terry's family, friends, fans and colleagues, Rob recounts Terry's extraordinary story - from his early childhood to the literary phenomenon that his Discworld series became; and how he met and coped with the challenges that 'The Embuggerance' of Alzheimer's brought with it.

'Of all the dead authors in the world, Terry Pratchett is the most alive.' - John Lloyd

'''The Magic of Terry Pratchett''' is an unofficial biography of the author written by Marc Burrows. The biography is considered unofficial because the Pratchett estate was not involved with the production of this book and as such several important people connected to Terry Pratchett did not contribute to the book such as [[Rhianna Pratchett]] and [[Rob Wilkins]]. According to Marc Burrows the estate has given its blessing to allow the book to be published. The official biography {{ALWF}} was written by Rob Wilkins and released in September 2022.

==Blurb==
'''The Magic Of Terry Pratchett''' is the first full biography of [[Biography|Sir Terry Pratchett]] ever written. Sir Terry was Britain's best-selling living author*, and before his death in 2015 had sold more than 85 million copies of his books worldwide. Best known for the [[:Category:Discworld Series|Discworld series]], his work has been translated into 37 languages, and performed as [[Theatre Adaptations|plays]] on every continent in the world, including Antarctica. Journalist, comedian and Pratchett fan Marc Burrows delves into the back story of one of UK's most enduring and beloved authors, from his childhood in the Chiltern Hills, to his time as a [[Uncle Jim|journalist]], and the journey that would take him - via more than sixty best-selling books - to an OBE, a knighthood and national treasure status. The Magic Of Terry Pratchett is the result of painstaking archival research alongside interviews with friends and contemporaries who knew the real man under the famous black hat, helping to piece together the full story of one of British [[Literature|literature's]] most remarkable and beloved figures for the very first time.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Now disqualified on both counts.

==Supplementary Books==
Two additional short supplementary books were released by Marc Burrows on his website as part of a special edition package at the book's launch:
* The Magic of Terry Pratchett Extras & Offcuts: Containing the unedited interviews conducted for the book, an essay 'How to Write a Biography of Terry Pratchett' and additional footnotes left out of the book.
* A Terry Pratchett Readers Guide: A booklet containing numerous facts about each of the novels of Terry Pratchett.

After they sold out, these two books were reprinted in a single volume titled ''Turtles All The Way Down''. As of July 2021, this is also sold out.

==Blurb==
Finding himself alone on a tropical island when everything and everyone he knows and loved has been washed away in a huge storm, [[Mau]] is the last surviving member of his nation. He's also completely alone - or so he thinks until he finds the ghost girl. She has no toes, wears strange lacy trousers like the grandfather bird and gives him a stick which can make fire. [[Daphne]], sole survivor of the wreck of the Sweet Judy, almost immediately regrets trying to shoot the native boy. Thank goodness the powder was wet and the gun only produced a spark. She's certain her father, distant cousin of the Royal family, will come and rescue her but it seems, for now, all she has for company is the boy and the foul-mouthed ship's parrot. As it happens, they are not alone for long. Other survivors start to arrive to take refuge on the island they all call the Nation and then raiders accompanied by murderous mutineers from the Sweet Judy. Together, Mau and Daphne discover some remarkable things - including how to milk a pig and why spitting in beer is a good thing - and start to forge a new Nation.

As can be expected from [[Terry Pratchett]], the master story-teller, this new children's novel is both witty and wise, encompassing themes of death and history/memory, while being extremely funny. Mau's ancestors have something to teach us all. Mau just wishes they would shut up about it and let him get on with saving everyone's lives!

==A word from the author==
Saturday 21st June 2008:-

In the current edition of the Waterstones magazine, Books Quarterly no. 29 (For non-UK readers, Waterstones is a major British bookselling chain) there is an four-page feature where Terry Pratchett is interviewed by [[Neil Gaiman]].

The interview contains this interesting snippet concerning the writing of '''''Nation''''':-

''I spent the better part of a year working on "Nation", which is a non-Discworld children's book. It was a hell of a job because it wasn't Discworld and and it wasn't [[Johnny Maxwell]]. It wasn't something I have envisaged myself writing but it absolutely needed to be written and I had to learn the toolkit for it''

==Annotations==
Maori folklore in New Zealand honours a demigod called Maui, who was spared death by drowning at sea at the whim of the sea gods. Educated by the sky-god, he is then returned to his people to lead and teach them. Unfortunately, this appears to be the only Maui myth relevant to the Pratchett character Mau. 
There is, though, {{wp|Mau Piailug|Mau Piailug}} (1932-2010), a famous Micronesian navigator. It doesn't have to be a myth.

==Adaptations==
===[[Theatre Adaptations|Theatre]]===
Adapted into a stage-play by Mark Ravenhill in 2009, a revised performance edition of the script was published by Heinemann in the same year.

===[[Fan Films|Fan Film]]===
The newspaper 'The Guardian' ran a competition for young fans of the novel to produce a short film based on an extract from the book, 2009.

===[[Radio Adaptations|Radio]]===
The novel was serialised in eight parts by BBC Radio 4, it was read by Matt Addis and broadcast in 2010.

'''The Amazing Maurice''' is an animated feature film [[TV and film adaptations|adaptation]] of {{TAM}}, produced by Cantilever Media and Ulysses Filmproduktion for Sky Cinema, in conjunction with [[Narrativia (production company)|Narrativia]].

It is the first feature film adaptation of [[Terry Pratchett]]'s works and the first to be originally screened in cinemas. It’s UK premiere was at the Manchester Animation Festival, though it's first broad release in the UK was on Sky Cinema's pay television network in December 2023. It was released worldwide in early 2023.

== Blurb ==
[[Maurice]], a [[Real Cat|streetwise cat]], has the perfect money-making scam. He’s found a [[Keith the Piper|dumb-looking kid]] who plays a pipe, and his very own [[The Clan|horde of rats]] – rats who are strangely educated, and literate, so Maurice can no longer think of them as “lunch”. And everyone knows the stories about rats and pipers... However, when Maurice and the rodents reach the stricken town of [[Bad Blintz]], their little con goes down the drain. For someone there is playing a different tune. A dark, shadowy tune. Something very, very bad is waiting in the cellars. It’s not a game anymore. It’s a rat-eat-rat world down there and the educated rats must learn a new word...EVIL.

== Differences from the novel ==
While the film is broadly faithful to the plot of the book, in order to fit the medium, the runtime and perhaps a broader (and younger) audience, many things are simplified. Here are some of the biggest changes.
* The character of [[Hamnpork]], and much of the subplot of the rats moving on from their old ways, are not in the film. (The group embrace the Mr Bunnsy inspired search for paradise.)
* [[Maurice]] does not always hide his ability to talk. In the first scam at the start of the film, he takes a much more active role, directly talking to the village’s inhabitants about the rats and telling them “the Piper” is the solution. (One child in the crowd repeatedly points out that it’s a talking cat, establishing this is meant to be unusual, but the rest of the crowd take no notice.)
* The rat catchers make the Rat King by accident, rather than deliberately as a masterwork. It controls them directly using greed and fear, rather than subtly influencing their minds. In this version all Rat Kings have “mind power” (rather than it being implied Spider is special because eight is a magical number), though the Boss Man does a version of the “one mind is as strong as one mind [...] and eight minds are...one” speech from the book and we do see there are eight rats making up the Rat King.
* The Rat King controls a large number of rats inside a coat, scarf, hat and mittens, allowing it to masquerade as the “Boss Man” of the rat catchers. It doesn’t use the name “Spider”. When it lures in Dangerous Beans, it’s inside the Mayor’s office.
* The Mayor is more suspicious of the rat catchers, suggesting that perhaps there’s a connection between the missing food and the rats they’ve supposedly eradicated, but is intimidated by the “Boss Man” and drops this line of questioning.
* Clicky the clockwork mouse is magically alive, though this is played for laughs. It refuses to enter a trap when it’s scared, and later in the film shows up to save the day. In the finale, it is shown to have a family of clockwork mice with an alarm clock.
* The “real” Pied Piper in the film has a magic flute and lives in a cottage in the woods near Bad Blintz. Rather than arriving for a showdown with Keith, Malicia knows that his magical pipe is the only thing that can break the power of a Rat King, so they go looking for him to steal it. When he discovers them, he uses the pipe to make them walk into his oven. (In witch terms, he's gone a bit “[[Black Aliss]]”; Malicia says the situation is “so Hansel and Gretel”.) After they escape with his pipe he’s not seen again.
* The rats become part of the town of Bad Blintz, turning it into a tourist attraction as in the book, but there’s no discussion with the Mayor about how it will all work; it's just part of the happy ending.
* Much more of Malicia’s discussion of stories are about whether or not she and Keith will be a couple, and romance tropes in general. They kiss in the end, and Malicia says he “kisses rather well” during her final narration. (Both characters seem older in the film than in the book.)

== Easter eggs ==
As well as being implicitly set on the Discworld (we see a drawing of the Disc on A’Tuin with the turtles, and “[[Unseen University]] of [[Ankh-Morpork]]” is explicitly mentioned), there are many references to Pratchett and the Discworld novels scattered throughout the film.

A few to look for:
* Malicia has a copy of ''[[Twurp's Peerage]]'' on a lectern, and a life-sized metal statue of [[the Luggage]] (it appears to be a functional chest, perhaps made of copper).
* The fountain in Bad Blintz’s town square is a statue of a dragon coming out of a toilet; possibly a [[swamp dragon]]?
* There is a bust of [[Terry Pratchett]] in the Mayor’s office.
* In a nod to the town being in [[Überwald]], Malicia’s chair, the Mayor’s blanket, the label on the rat poison and the town’s crest are all decorated with bats. (Rats are added to the crest at the end.)
* When he considers abandoning the rats, Maurice thinks about going to sea, having “always wanted to be a ship’s cat”. This is a nod to one of Pratchett’s unfinished books, mentioned in the afterword of {{TSC}}.
* [[Rincewind]] and [[Twoflower]] turn up in Bad Blintz at the end; quite appropriate now it's a tourist attraction. Rincewind is also seen dumping rubbish in a flashback, where we see the [[Tower of Art]]. (The rest of Unseen University seems to be literally invisible.)
* Terry Pratchett’s name is on the cover of the book of the story glimpsed at the end of the film.

== Cast ==
* Hugh Laurie as [[Maurice]]
* Emilia Clarke as [[Malicia Grim]]
* David Thewlis as Boss Man and [[Rat King]]
* Himesh Patel as [[Keith the Piper|Keith]]
* David Tennant as [[Dangerous Beans]]
* Gemma Arterton as [[Peaches]]
* Ariyon Bakare as [[Darktan]]
* Joe Sugg as [[Sardines]]
* Julie Atherton as [[Nourishing]]
* Hugh Bonneville as The Mayor
* Rob Brydon as The Pied Piper
* Peter Serafinowicz as [[Death]]
* Florian Westermann as Ratcatcher Billy
* Toby Genkel as Ratcatcher Ron
* Megan Giglia as In-Brine
* Leona Liberty as Sell-By

As well as the directors appearing as the rat-catchers, [[Rob Wilkins]] makes a cameo appearance as the Rat Pit Dog Handler, and members of the producer’s families provide voices for some of the villagers.

==Tie-in Books==
Several books and new covers were released to tie-in with the release of the film:
* {{TAM}} - with a new cover, plus an introduction by [[Rob Wilkins]] telling the story of how the book was imagined by Terry.
* {{TUC}} - with a new cover and altered title, ''The Unadulterated Maurice'', plus a new introduction by [[Rhianna Pratchett]].
* ''[[Book:Mr. Bunnsy has an Adventure|Mr. Bunnsy Has An Adventure]]'' - a facsimile edition of the book from the story, as it appears in the film.
* ''[[Book:The Amazing Maurice The Art Of The Film|The Amazing Maurice The Art Of The Film]]''

'''The Bromeliad''' or '''The Bromeliad Trilogy''' is the name of the [[Collections|trilogy]] about the [[nomes]]. {{T}} was the first book, {{D}} was the second, and {{WI}} was the third.

It's taken from the name for a family of plants on [[Roundworld]], and more specifically the species that grow in the airy and well-lit upper branches of trees in the rainforest, principally in South America. This possibly parasitic plant puts out very big, long-lasting flowers that act as natural reservoirs for rainwater. A well-established [[wikipedia:Bromeliad|bromeliad]] will end up sustaining its own more-or-less self-contained ecology, including small yellow frogs which live their entire life cycles in the water within the flower. These are used in {{D}} as a metaphor for the lives of [[Nomes]], especially for those who lived as a self-contained and possibly parasitic ecology within the walls and floors of the [[Store]]. However, it becomes apparent that a wider metaphor also applies here for ''all'' Nomes, who are effectively living as parasites on the margins of human society, in a world not their own, and where the slightest knock, or circumstances beyond their control altering, means they have to adapt or die. And, it could be wider, if we think that the [[Roundworld]] is too big for us, little humans...

[[Masklin]], once in a sort of control of the [[Starship Swan]], brings back a bromeliad flower, plus frogs, as a sort of ad-hoc Interflora gift for [[Grimma|a very special person]]...

Uncle Jim

2023-08-08T15:48:50Z

Jagra:

From 1975-1980 Terry wrote regular stories for the ''Bucks Free Press'', in the format of regular episodes. His pseudonym for this was '''Uncle Jim''', who wrote in the Children's Circle section of the newspaper. He wrote a total of sixty-seven short stories for the paper, which were often published in several parts due to the limited space in the Children's Circle section. Several of these stories were made available on line in a partnership with Bucks Free Press at "terrypratchett.weebly.com". This did not pan out, unfortunately, and the website was shut down.

A more successful attempt to bring these stories to the public resulted in the story collection {{DCC}} and its sequels.

It is interesting to note that several ideas present in the later novels where being mulled over in these early days; [[Blackbury]] is used as a location several times, and there is an equivalent of [[Bergholt Stuttley Johnson]] in one tale. There is even an early version of {{TCP}}, a story that would later be expanded into {{T}} and a story that has some distinct similarity with the denizens of the [[Post Office]].

This is the third collection of [[Terry Pratchett]]'s short stories that were originally written for the [[Uncle Jim|Buck's Free Press]]; it is the sequel to {{TWVC}}.

==Blurb==
Have you ever wanted Christmas to be different?

Turkey and carols, presents and crackers - they all start to feel a bit . . . samey.

How about a huge exploding mince pie, a pet abominable snowman, or a very helpful partridge in a pear tree? What if Father Christmas went to work at a zoo, or caused chaos in a toy store, or was even arrested for burglary!?

Dive into the fantastically funny world of Terry Pratchett, for a festive treat like no other. These ten stories will have you laughing, gasping and crying (with laughter) - you'll never see Christmas in the same way again.

==Contents==
*Father Christmas's Fake Beard
*The Blackbury Pie
*Prod-Ye-A'Diddle Oh!
*A Very Short Ice Age
*[[Short Story:The Megabyte Drive to Believe in Santa Claus|The Computer Who Wrote to Father Christmas]]
*Good King Wences-lost
*The Weatherchick
*Judgement Day for Father Christmas
*[[Short Story:The Abominable Snow-baby|The Abominable Snow-baby]]
*The Twelve Gifts of Christmas
*Father Christmas Goes to Work at the Zoo

Additionally the deluxe edition of the book includes full colour illustrations. It was originally stated to contain four additional stories similar to the deluxe editions of {{DCC}} and {{TWVC}}, but did not.

'''''A Stroke of the Pen''''' is a collection of “lost” stories written by Pratchett for newspapers in the 1970s and 1980s. It features a foreword by [[Neil Gaiman]].

== Blurb ==
A truly unmissable, beautifully illustrated collection of unearthed stories from the pen of Sir [[Terry Pratchett]]: award-winning and bestselling author, and creator of the phenomenally successful [[Discworld series]].

Twenty early short stories by one of the world's best loved authors, each accompanied by exquisite original woodcut illustrations.

These are rediscovered tales that Pratchett wrote under a pseudonym for newspapers during the 1970s and 1980s. Whilst none are set in the Discworld, they hint towards the world he would go on to create, containing all of his trademark wit, satirical wisdom and fantastic imagination.

Meet Og the inventor, the first caveman to cultivate fire, as he discovers the highs and lows of progress; haunt the Ministry of Nuisances with the defiant evicted ghosts of Pilgarlic Towers; visit [[Blackbury]], a small market town with weird weather and an otherworldly visitor; and go on a dangerous quest through time and space with hero Kron, which begins in the ancient city of Morpork...

A STROKE OF THE PEN is a must-have collection for fans of all ages.

== Contents ==
Not yet revealed in full, but includes twenty stories, including:

{{GO}} is a comic novel about demons, angels, prophecies and Armageddon, in which a mix-up at a hospital causes the Antichrist to be brought up as a perfectly normal kid with bizarre consequences as he develops his special talents with neither demons nor angels for guidance.

Terry Gilliam would make a movie of this book if those with the money and inclination to make such a thing possible were not as rare as [[Klatchian Mist]].

==Blurb==
According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of [[Agnes Nutter]] – the world's only ''totally reliable'' guide to the future – the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just after tea...

==Additional Material==
The United States edition of Good Omens had numerous alterations to the text. The most significant alteration to the main text is the addition of an extra 700-word section just before the end, dealing with what happened to the character of Warlock, the American diplomat's son, who was swapped with Adam. The American edition also adds numerous footnotes not found in British editions as well as changes to the spelling throughout so that the text corresponded to American English norms rather than British English. One howler of an error has "Aziraphile nipping across the city of Hell" early on. Comparing this to the British text, it appears the American editor was correcting a non-existent error, not knowing ''Hull'' is an English port city on the east coast. It may be grim, it may have had the pugnacious John Prescott as its MP and it may be in the East Riding of Yorkshire - but it isn't quite Hell...

Editions since 2006 have contained [[Contributions to other works|extra material]] by [[Terry Pratchett]] and [[Neil Gaiman]]: a new Foreword to the book, 'Good Omens, The Facts' an interview with the two authors and two articles by each author: 'Neil Gaiman On Terry Pratchett' and 'Terry Pratchett On Neil Gaiman.'

[[Deleted Scenes|''Crowley & Aziraphale’s New Year’s Resolutions'']] were released on the author's extra section on the HarperCollins website; this section no longer exists but the material can be found on Neil Gaiman's Tumbler account. This was a set of promises by the respective characters for the year ahead.

===[[Book:Good Omens The Official (and Ineffable) Graphic Novel|Graphic Novel]]===
''Good Omens: The Official (and Ineffable) Graphic Novel'' is a graphic novel adaptation illustrated by Collen Doran. The book was funded through the website Kickstarter with an initial goal of £25,000.

==Annotations==
The book satirises some aspects of the '70s movie ''[[wikipedia:The Omen|The Omen]]'', where an American diplomat has Damien, the Antichrist, for a child. Although Damien is dismissed as a name, and isn't the Antichrist anyway, he is raised by a supernatural nanny, and with a birthday party that gets out of hand.

Right on the very last page of the book, there is a line stating:

:"If you want to see the future, imagine a boot..."

Pratchett and Gaiman amend "boot" to "sneaker", but the reference is clearly to the closing paragraphs of George Orwell's ''1984'':

:"If you want to see the future, imagine a boot, stamping on a human face, forever."

This is softened in ''Good Omens'' to a sneaker, or trainer, with untied laces, on the foot of the Antichrist, who has just succeeded in thwarting the desire of both Heaven and Hell to stamp on the collective face of the human race until something breaks beyond repair. (What else is Armageddon, after all)

A screenplay adaptation titled '''A Screenplay''' for a potential Good Omens film was written by Neil Gaiman. This was published in 2004 by Hill House in a limited number of copies as a premium for subscribers to their Author's Preferred Series.

===[[Book:Good Omens: The Official (and Ineffable) Graphic Novel|Graphic Novel]]===
''Good Omens: The Official (and Ineffable) Graphic Novel'' is a graphic novel adaptation illustrated by Collen Doran. The book was funded through the website Kickstarter with an initial goal of £25,000.

==Annotations==
The book satirises some aspects of the '70s movie ''[[wikipedia:The Omen|The Omen]]'', where an American diplomat has Damien, the Antichrist, for a child. Although Damien is dismissed as a name, and isn't the Antichrist anyway, he is raised by a supernatural nanny, and with a birthday party that gets out of hand.

Right on the very last page of the book, there is a line stating:

:"If you want to see the future, imagine a boot..."

Pratchett and Gaiman amend "boot" to "sneaker", but the reference is clearly to the closing paragraphs of George Orwell's ''1984'':

:"If you want to see the future, imagine a boot, stamping on a human face, forever."

This is softened in ''Good Omens'' to a sneaker, or trainer, with untied laces, on the foot of the Antichrist, who has just succeeded in thwarting the desire of both Heaven and Hell to stamp on the collective face of the human race until something breaks beyond repair. (What else is Armageddon, after all)

{{GO}} is a comic novel about demons, angels, prophecies and Armageddon, in which a mix-up at a hospital causes the Antichrist to be brought up as a perfectly normal kid with bizarre consequences as he develops his special talents with neither demons nor angels for guidance.

Terry Gilliam would make a movie of this book if those with the money and inclination to make such a thing possible were not as rare as [[Klatchian Mist]].

==Blurb==
According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of [[Agnes Nutter]] – the world's only ''totally reliable'' guide to the future – the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just after tea...

==Additional Material==
The United States edition of Good Omens had numerous alterations to the text. The most significant alteration to the main text is the addition of an extra 700-word section just before the end, dealing with what happened to the character of Warlock, the American diplomat's son, who was swapped with Adam. The American edition also adds numerous footnotes not found in British editions as well as changes to the spelling throughout so that the text corresponded to American English norms rather than British English. One howler of an error has "Aziraphile nipping across the city of Hell" early on. Comparing this to the British text, it appears the American editor was correcting a non-existent error, not knowing ''Hull'' is an English port city on the east coast. It may be grim, it may have had the pugnacious John Prescott as its MP and it may be in the East Riding of Yorkshire - but it isn't quite Hell...

Editions since 2006 have contained [[Contributions to other works|extra material]] by [[Terry Pratchett]] and [[Neil Gaiman]]: a new Foreword to the book, 'Good Omens, The Facts' an interview with the two authors and two articles by each author: 'Neil Gaiman On Terry Pratchett' and 'Terry Pratchett On Neil Gaiman.'

[[Deleted Scenes|''Crowley & Aziraphale’s New Year’s Resolutions'']] were released on the author's extra section on the HarperCollins website; this section no longer exists but the material can be found on Neil Gaiman's Tumbler account. This was a set of promises by the respective characters for the year ahead.

The official art book for the animated movie [[TV and Film:The Amazing Maurice|''The Amazing Maurice'']], based on the Carnegie Medal-winning [[Book:The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents|Discworld novel]] by [[Terry Pratchett]].

[[Maurice]] is a streetwise talking tomcat who comes up with a money-making scam by befriending a group of [[The Clan|talking rats]] and finding a [[Keith the Piper|dumb-looking kid]] who plays a pipe. When Maurice and company reach the stricken town of [[Bad Blintz]], they meet a bookworm called [[Malicia Grim|Malicia]] and their scheme soon goes down the drain.

The Art of the Film is a coffee table hardback celebration of the creative process of bringing The Amazing Maurice to life, including exclusive concept designs, character sketches, storyboards and production art, alongside insight from the artists, filmmakers and directors.

'''The Amazing Maurice''', currently in production, is an animated feature film produced by Cantilever Media and Ulysses Filmproduktion in conjunction with [[Narrativia (production company)|Narrativia]], based off the book {{TAM}}. The Amazing Maurice will be the first feature film [[TV and film adaptations|adaptation]] based off of [[Terry Pratchett]]'s works and was to be the first to be originally screened in cinemas, however it seems it will now debut on Sky Cinema's pay television network, at least in the UK.
==Blurb==
[[Maurice]], a [[Real Cat|streetwise cat]], has the perfect money-making scam. He’s found a [[Keith the Piper|dumb-looking kid]] who plays a pipe, and his very own [[The Clan|horde of rats]] – rats who are strangely educated, and literate, so Maurice can no longer think of them as “lunch”. And everyone knows the stories about rats and pipers... However, when Maurice and the rodents reach the stricken town of [[Bad Blintz]], their little con goes down the drain. For someone there is playing a different tune. A dark, shadowy tune. Something very, very bad is waiting in the cellars. It’s not a game anymore. It’s a rat-eat-rat world down there and the educated rats must learn a new word...EVIL.

'''Mr Bunnsy Has An Adventure''' was a "stupid book for ickle kids" according to [[Malicia Grim]], which failed to have any social sub-texts or commentary, but did have animals dressed in human clothes and "everything was so nice and cosy it makes you absolutely ''sick''". It starred Mr Bunnsy and his friends Ratty Rupert, Olly the Snake and so on.

However, for the [[Rats|rats]] of [[The Clan]], especially for [[Dangerous Beans]] and [[Peaches]], it was their spiritual guidance: a vision of utopia where rats and humans could live in harmony and where traps weren't put down and poison wasn't laid.

When Dangerous Beans and Peaches overheard Malicia's comments it was too much to bear, but they realised that a happy medium could exist, between the childishness of the book and the harmonious existence of its message. The outcome is there for all to see in [[Bad Blintz]].

==Facsimile Edition==
A special facsimile edition of 'Mr Bunnsy has an Adventure' was released in conjunction with the animated film adaptation: [[TV and Film:The Amazing Maurice|''The Amazing Maurice'']]. This edition is based on the book that is featured in the film and the segments that depict its contents.

'''Blurb''': Follow Mr Bunnsy as he embarks upon a perilous journey that only the residents of Furry Bottom can save him from.

This facsimile publication has been created to celebrate the release of The Amazing Maurice. Fully illustrated by Heiko Hentschel, the concept artist who designed the book in the film, and carefully modelled after the on-screen tome, this artefact is the perfect addition to any [[Discworld]] collection. It might also be just the thing if you lead a small group of educated rodents seeking a better existence…

==Annotation==
A parody of all [[Roundworld]] children's books that have anthropomorphised animals that wear clothes, talk and generally act like furry humans, but I suspect its primary target is the {{wp|Peter_Rabbit|Peter Rabbit}} series by Beatrix Potter.

There is also the surprise novelty hit single in Britain of some years ago:

''The bravest animals in the land are Captain Beaky and his band,

''That's Timid Toad, Reckless Rat, Artful Owl and Batty Bat ;

''They march through the woodlands singing songs,

''That tell how they have righted wrongs;

''Once Hissing Sid, an evil snake, kept the woodland folk awake,

''In fear and trembling every night,

''In case he gave someone a bite.... ''

Troll Bridge is an independent short film created by the Australian studio [[Fan Films#Run Rincewind Run! (2007)|Snowgum Films]] [[TV and film adaptations|based on the short story]] of the same name by [[Terry Pratchett]].

==Plot==
The plot is the same as the [[Short Story:Troll Bridge|original short story]] with [[Cohen the Barbarian]] making his way to [[Death Bridge]] to defeat a [[Trolls|Troll]] in single combat to prove himself, however upon meeting the troll things go rather differently.

Unique to the film there is also a prologue showing Cohen in his younger days fighting in a large scale battle; Terry Pratchett aided by writing additional dialogue for this sequence.

==Production History==
Troll Bridge was financed through Kickstarter with donated money and production began in 2011. The project later moved to Backerkit during post-production.

In 2016 at [[Biography#Memorial|Terry Pratchett's memorial service]] Snowgum Films announced that the film was nearing completion.

After completion the film is expected to tour and be exhibited at professional film circuits, after which it will be released to backers as a downloadable/streamable film and on DVD/BLU Ray.

The film premiered at the Australian international film festival [http://flickerfest.com.au/ Flickerfest] on 16th January 2019.

In January 2021 Snowgum Films released the Complete version of the film on their Youtube channel: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7v_TdLviUE Troll Bridge on Youtube]

==Versions==
The film will be released in three versions:
*Festival: The finished film and the version that will be shown on tour. (16 Mins)
*Complete: The theatrical version with the complete war prologue and other extended scenes scaled down in the theatrical version. (25 mins)
*[[Bloody Stupid Johnson|Bloody Stupid Johnson Edition]]: The complete version along with deleted sequences, animatics, and test footage to tell the extended story. (45 mins)

==Backers Portal/Streaming Arena==
This area on the Troll Bridge website is accessible only by backers. It contains the three versions of the film and the bonus material available on the DVD/BLU Ray discs as well as additional material was not added to the physical releases.

The Troll Bridge website was deleted in late 2021 and the Backers Portal, along with the material that was uploaded to this area of the website, can no longer be accessed.

Balgrog

2022-09-03T16:58:43Z

Jagra: Removed redirect to Balrog

Balgrogs are an extinct species of [[Discworld]] fauna once native to [[S'belinde]]. They were very large animals with an extremely resilient skin for which they were hunted; both waterproof and strong it was prized as material for boots, coats, tents and of course Balrugs. The [[Howondaland Smith|Smith]] family were known to posses a Balrug.

Balgrogs are first mentioned in {{MP}} where a [[Troll]] is painted green and has a pair of wings attached to its back in order to represent the creature.

Later in {{CDA}} more information on the creature is revealed but they are named as '{{wp|Balrog|Balrogs}}' instead of Balgrogs. This is likely a mistake as it replaces the [[Discworld]] monsters name with the name of the creature that it supposed to be parodying.

==Blurb==
''They say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, which just goes to show they're as confused about anatomy as they gen'rally are about everything else, unless they're talking about instructions on how to stab them. Anyway, we do not have a perfect world and it is foresight and useful for a young woman to become proficient in those arts which will keep a weak-willed man from straying. Learning to cook is also useful.''

[[Nanny Ogg]], one of Discworld's most famous [[Witches magic|witches]], is passing on some of her huge collection of tasty and above all interesting recipes, since everyone else is doing it. But in addition to the delights of the [[Strawberry Wobbler]] and Nobby's Mum's [[Distressed Pudding]], Mrs Ogg imparts her thoughts on life, death, etiquette ('If you go to other people's funerals they'll be sure to come to yours'), courtship, children and weddings, all in a refined style that should not offend the most delicate of sensibilities. Well, not much.

Most of the recipes have been tried out on people who are still alive.

Nanny's earlier work, [[The Joye of Snacks]] (mentioned in {{M!!!}}), which (as its parodic title would imply) contains recipes that help enhance eroticism, has apparently not yet crossed over into [[Roundworld]], unless it's become a chapter in this book? The simple answer to this, as Nanny is at pains to point out repeatedly, is that she ''simply isn't allowed to'' and that having to compromise her artistic vision has left her somewhat miffed.

The Cookbook has several strands, all of which parody aspects of Roundworld publishing as well as specific literary genres. (Oh, and the recipes also work: Mrs Colon's Genyooin Klatchian Curry is a plateful of culinary nostalgia, for those who ever ate [http://www.ciao.co.uk/Vesta_Beef_Curry__Review_5711756 Vesta packet curry] in the 1970's).

It opens with an exchange of memos between the publisher [[Goatberger|JHC Goatberger]] and his managing editor ("Overseer") Mr. [[Thomas Cropper|Cropper]], in which we learn that the print house of Goatberger's is in dire straits following a series of ill-judged editions which have left it with substantial liabilities (and possible legal actions) rather than the much-hoped for profits.

At this point, salvation arrives in the form of a manuscript from the Lancre Witch which is meant to be a follow-up to her best-seller [[The Joye of Snacks]]. This deals largely with etiquette, comportment and good manners, and indeed a goodly amount of this material makes its way into the final book.

Goatberger and Cropper ponder the ethics of publishing a book clearly plagiarised from at least twelve sources. Then they decide it can be considered "research" and publish anyway.

The book takes the form of severely abridged recipes purporting to be from the Joye of Snackes, with, as its author complains, "all the best ingredients left out". The presentation is reminiscent of one of those charity compilations which hit the bookshops like a rash just before Christmas, in which vaguely famous or at best notorious people are asked to submit their favourite cat/dog/recipe, et c, ''for charidee''. This would explain why such luminaries as [[Havelock Vetinari]], [[Patrician]], and Lady [[Sybil Ramkin|Sybil Vimes]] have lent their time to support the book. Although on what promise or premise from Goatberger is not clear, as we know the charity being supported is the Keep Goatberger Solvent Benevolent Fund. (Then again, we have no idea how much of the money from those Christmas charity compilations goes on "publishers' expenses" before the charity sees a penny).

Other contributions, such as those from Mrs [[Fred Colon ]] and [[Maisie Nobbs]] have a more personal feel to them, as though Nanny Ogg has been out and done the fieldwork personally.

The sections on good manners and etiquette are an outrageous parody of those books of the "Edwardian Country Gentlewoman" genre, for which there was a vogue some years ago.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Holden] (American readers: think Emily Post).

==Annotation, or at least a puzzling anachronism==
On page 140, there is a short entry on ''The Significance of Stamps'', in which Nanny Ogg discusses the hidden language connected with where, exactly, the stamp is placed on the envelope (top-right, "the answer to your question is "yes""; top left, "don't waste your time, boy", dead-centre, "you've stamped it right over the address so it ends up at the wrong house", et c. Nanny tells us that this goes back a long way.

Yet on the Disc, stamps as we know them are the fairly recent invention of [[Moist von Lipwig]] and [[Stanley Howler]]? So how can this be explained, unless Lancre, uniquely, has been using them locally for a long time?

(Or could Nanny, inspired by seeing an Ankh-Morpork stamp, just have made it all up - well, all time-honoured traditions have to begin somewhere - to fill in space and meet a publishers' deadline?)

p 127: In the description of snails, Nanny explains that "much of the Quirm diet developed during a twenty-year siege, when the population scoffed its way through the entire contents of the zoo and were then reduced to turning over damp stones and hitting with a hammer anything that moved". During Franco-Prussian War, the Siege of Paris did indeed lead to desperate butchers turning to the botanical gardens' menagerie in search of protein. However, the Roundworld events took place long after l'escargot had become part of French cuisine.

'''Tina Hannan''' (aka Misty) is a blogger, photographer and writer. With [[Terry Pratchett]] and [[Stephen Briggs]] she is one of the co-authors of {{NOC}} and was responsible for the creation of most of the recipes featured in the book.

Tina has portrayed [[Angua von Überwald]] both in cosplay at conventions and played the [[werewolf]] in a [[Theatre Adaptations|play]] of {{G!G!}}. Terry once told her that she was the 'official' Angua as she heavily resembled the character.

Tina Hannan has also contributed to the book '[https://www.lulu.com/content/739873?page=1&pageSize=4 Shaggy Blog Stories].' A collection of 100 comic stories by authors and bloggers created to raise money for Red Nose Day.

=={{NOC}}==
In 1997 Tina Hannan presented Terry Pratchett with some [[dwarf bread]], [[figgins]] and a sticky toffee rat-onna-stick. This would later lead to the two collaborating on this cookbook.

Tina is one of the co-authors of 'Nanny Ogg's Cookbook.' The recipes in the book are copyright her and [[Stephen Briggs]], with Tina having created the majority of the recipes.

Despite her work taking up a good deal of the cookbook, Tina received no royalties from the sale of any copy with all the money that would have gone to her being donated to the [[Orangutan Foundation]].

At least one other [[Discworld]] inspired recipe by Tina was published in the Discworld Chronicle fan magazine.

{{TAM}} is the 28th book in the [[Discworld]] series, and the first for young readers. It was released in a smaller hardback format than the previous Discworld novels, a format which was used up to and including {{HFOS}}.

==Blurb==
:Imagine a million clever rats. 
:Rats that don't run. 
:Rats that fight...

[[Maurice]], a streetwise tomcat, has the perfect money-making scam. He's found a [[Keith the Piper|stupid-looking kid who plays a pipe]], and he has his very own plague of [[The Clan|rats who are strangely educated]], so Maurice can no longer think of them as 'lunch'. And everyone knows the stories about rats and pipers...

But when they reach the stricken town of [[Bad Blintz]], the little con suddenly goes down the drain. For someone there is playing a different tune. A dark, shadowy tune. Something very, very bad is waiting in the cellars.

The educated rats must learn a new word.

EVIL.

It's not a game any more. It's a rat-eat-rat world down there. And that might only be the start...

[[Terry Pratchett]] leads readers from tale to tail in a darkly imaginative and fiendishly entertaining story, the first for young readers set in the Discworld universe.

==Plot==
[[Maurice]] the cat operates a money-making scam with a group of rats and [[Keith the Piper|Keith]], a teenage boy. The rats gained human intelligence by eating rubbish from the [[Unseen University]], while Maurice became intelligent after eating one of them. They inflict a plague of rats on every town they visit which only ends when Keith is paid to lead the rats away. The gang are not entirely harmonious - [[Dangerous Beans]], a nearly-blind rat who acts as a guru, dreams of starting a rat civilisation based on the children's book ''Mr Bunnsy Has an Adventure'', and along with the scribe [[Peaches]], has ethical concerns about their scam. [[Hamnpork]], the rats' nominal leader, does not get on with Maurice and there are rumours that [[Darktan]] is contemplating taking over as leader.

The gang agree to carry out the scam one last time in the town of [[Bad Blintz]], [[Überwald]]. The townspeople have already been complaining about rats and a lack of food, but as Darktan leads the Trap Disposal Squad around, they find the rat tunnels are empty except for traps and poison. Keith and Maurice meet Malicia, the mayor's daughter, who believes herself to be the heroine of a fairy tale. Maurice reveals that the rat catchers have been using bootlaces as fake rat tails. They decide to investigate the rat catcher's house, where they meet with Darktan's gang and find that the rat catchers have been hiding the food which was supposedly eaten by rats. They also discover cages of rats who are being bred for coursing. The rat catchers arrive, lock Keith and Malicia away and take Hamnpork away for coursing.

Maurice senses a voice which tries to enter his mind and causes the rats to start behaving like normal rats ("keekees") to the dismay of Dangerous Beans, who is also depressed to learn that ''Mr Bunnsy Has an Adventure'' is just a children's story. Dangerous Beans and Peaches rescue Keith and Malicia, while Darktan leads a group out to rescue Hamnpork. Hamnpork is rescued after being severely injured in the coursing ring, while in the process Darktan has a near-death experience after being caught in a trap. Hamnpork dies of his injuries soon after and Darktan takes over as leader.

Malicia tricks the rat catchers into thinking they have been poisoned by slipping laxative in their drink. In return for an 'antidote' (actually more laxative) the rat catchers explain that they created a powerful [[wikipedia:Rat king (folklore)|'rat king']] called Spider by tying the tails of eight rats together, who can control the minds of other rats. Dangerous Beans confronts Spider in his burning lair. Spider is interested by how Dangerous Beans can resist him and offers for them to rule jointly and go to war against humans. Dangerous Beans refuses and resists Spider's attempts to kill him, until Maurice arrives and reverts to normal cat behaviour by pouncing on him. Maurice collapses after escaping the fire and in his near-death experience, he tries to stop the [[Death of Rats]] taking Dangerous Beans. In the end, he strikes up a deal with [[Death]] that he will give away one of his nine lives in return for Dangerous Beans being spared, in addition to losing another life for nearly dying in the fire.

With Spider defeated, the rats still have to deal with another piper who is due to arrive the next day who like Keith, supposedly has a magical pipe which can be used to charm rats. The rats respond by rounding up the keekees and locking them in the rat catcher's cages, then wearing ear plugs to prevent themselves from being charmed. Keith challenges the piper to a duel. Using a borrowed trombone (his pipe was broken by the rat catchers) Keith is able to attract a single rat, while the piper fails to attract any. The piper then reveals to Keith that his pipe can play a secret note which humans can't hear, but which drives rats crazy. Keith then leads all of the rats out of town, to the applause of the townspeople.

The rats then reveal their intelligence to the townspeople and offering to reveal to them where the stolen food and money was located in return for being allowed to live peacefully with them. Keith stays on as the town's piper and the "well-trained rats" become a tourist attraction. Maurice, however, moves on, looking for another human to "coach".

===[[Radio Adaptations|Radio]]===
An abridged version of the novel was read by {{wp|Omid Djalili|Omid Djalili}} over BBC Radio 7 in four parts in 2002.

BBC Radio 4 broadcast a 90-minute dramatisation in 2003, adapted by Peter Kerry and directed by Chris Wallis, which was repeated on BBC 7 on June 2, 2007 and April 27, 2008. The character of Dangerous Beans was voiced by David Tennant. Darktan's voice was a spoof version of Sean Connery's Scottish burr. The narrator in the adaptation was Maurice himself, describing to Dangerous Beans how they arrived at the perilous situation near the end of the plot. Quotes from ''Mr. Bunnsy Has an Adventure'', which appear as chapter heads in the book, were read by the character Peaches. To mark the occasion of Terry Pratchett's knighthood, it was broadcast on BBC 7 again, along with other dramatisations of his work, in February 2009.
