(n.y.k.) h/cvr blurb: Plodding through the eternal void is the great turtle A'Tuin. On his back (or hers - the question is unresolved) stand four eleph- planet of magic and misadventure! Predicting his own death, the wizard Drum Billet sets out to pass on his power and his staff to his predicted successor, the eighth son of an eighth son. But there is a problem. The eighth son turns out to be a daughter, and women aren't supposed to be wizards. (`Where does it say women can't be wizards?' `It doesn't say it anywhere, it says it everywhere.') But it's too late: Eskarina in- herits the wizard's staff, and with the reluctant help of the witch Granny Weatherwax sets out to learn her new calling. p/b blurb: The last thing the wizard Drum Billet did, before Death laid a bony hand on his shoulder, was to pass on his staff of power to the eighth son of an eighth son. Unfortunately for his colleagues in the chauv- inistic (not to say mysogynistic) world of magic, he failed to check on the new-born baby's sex ... A third hilarious adventure by the author of _The Colour of Magic_ and _The Light Fantastic_. 1.4 Mort |
