Book Synopsis

''A sequence of unalloyed delight'' The Guardian

This is where the dragons went. They lie . . . not dead, not asleep, but . . . dormant.

And although the space they occupy isn''t like normal space, nevertheless they are packed in tightly. They could put you in mind of a can of sardines, if you thought sardines were huge and scaly. And presumably, somewhere, there''s a key to let them out.

Captain Sam Vimes of the Night Watch is going to have a doozy of a night when they are.

This edition features ten glorious full-colour illustrations and further pencil drawings by Terry Pratchett''s artist of choice, Paul Kidby.

''One of Pratchett''s best books. Hilarious and highly recommended'' The Times
