“An astonishing novel. Were Terry Pratchett not demonstratively a master craftsman already, The Amazing Maurice might be considered his masterpiece.” —Neil Gaiman
The Amazing Maurice runs the perfect Pied Piper scam. This streetwise alley cat knows the value of cold, hard cash and can talk his way into and out of anything. But when Maurice and his cohorts decide to con the town of Bad Blinitz, it will take more than fast talking to survive the danger that awaits.
For this is a town where food is scarce and rats are hated, where cellars are lined with deadly traps, and where a terrifying evil lurks beneath the hunger-stricken streets....
Set in bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett's beloved Discworld, this masterfully crafted, gripping read is both compelling and funny. When one of the world's most acclaimed fantasy writers turns a classic fairy tale on its head, no one will ever look at the Pied Piper—or rats—the same way again!
This book’s feline hero was first mentioned in the Discworld novel Reaper Man and stars in the movie version of his adventure, The Amazing Maurice, featuring David Tenant, Emma Clarke, Hamish Patel, and Hugh Laurie. Fans of Maurice will relish the adventures of Tiffany Aching, staring with The Wee Free Men and A Hat Full of Sky!

Med Pratchets böcker kan man alltid gå bortom ytan och förundras över hur väl han speglar mänskligheten och dess knasigheter.

Terry Pratchett är en av mina favoritförfattare och den här boken har jag alltid gillat nör jag har läst och läst om den. Därför så var det extra trevligt att boken var om möjligt ännu bättre och roligare i denna upplösning av Stephen Briggs. Rekommenderas! Och kul att se att Storytel har ett gäng av Terry Pratchetts böcker tillgängliga att lyssna på.

Ju mer som man hör Pratchett's historier, desto mer så imponeras man över hans otroliga fantasi. Hans förmåga att skriva de mest fantastiska berättelser om de mest varierande karaktärer är imponerande!

Pratchett i högform. Som vanligt fantastiskt uppläst av Stephwn Biggs (?). Han får 6 stjärnor.
