A marvellously eccentric fantasy tale for younger readers set in the Discworld universe.
Klappentext zu „The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents “
It's not a game any more . . .Every town on Discworld knows the stories about rats and pipers, and Maurice - a streetwise tomcat - leads a band of educated ratty friends (and a stupid kid) on a nice little earner. Piper plus rats equals lots and lots of money.
Until they run across someone playing a different tune.
Now he and his rats must learn a new concept: evil . . .

Rezension zu „The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents “
"High comedy with unforgettable animal characters. The lightness of Terry Pratchett's wit (especially his word games) makes it easy to underestimate the more serious points of this story" -- Julia Eccleshare Guardian "Alongside the gags and pest-control politics, there are enough complex ideas about nature, nurture and understanding to satisfy a wide audience" Observer "One of Terry Pratchett's funniest creations of recent years... It all adds up to a wonderful book - hilarious, brilliantly constructed and, especially towards its conclusion, shot through with an edginess to balance the laughs" SFX "Excruciatingly funny, ferociously intelligent" Kirkus Reviews "The humour is sophisticated and demands that the reader keep up to speed. A passion for language, wordplay and puns bursts from the pages" -- Fiona Lafferty Daily Telegraph
Pressezitat
Ethically challenging, beautifully orchestrated, philosophically opposed to the usual plot fixes of fantasy The Guardian
