The Discworld Bestiary

A spectacular guide to the creatures and critters of Discworld, packed with wisdom from the great minds of the Disc, as well as interjections from some of its more unconventional thinkers. Discover the best way to care for the Terrible Man-Eating Sloth of Clup, the eating habits of the Ambiguous Puzuma, and marvel at the startling prevalence of ominous ducks in cosmic matters. Wriggling with insights and crawling with wisdom, The Discworld Bestiary is packed with extra advice from Rincewind, Unseen Universityâs latest (and reluctant) adjunct professor of Perplexing Beasts and curator of its curiobiological museum. Fully illustrated with brand-new art from Paul Kidby.
