The Colour of Magic – Terry Pratchett

Readers are whisked away to the Discworld, a flat, disc-shaped world balanced on the backs of four giant elephants who, in turn, stand on the back of Great A’Tuin, a colossal turtle. Enter Rincewind, the inept and perpetually unlucky wizard, and Twoflower, an eccentric tourist with a penchant for taking holiday snapshots of dangerous creatures.

When Twoflower arrives in the city of Ankh-Morpork with his luggage (a creature on legs that follows him everywhere), chaos ensues. The pair embarks on a series of misadventures involving dragons, magic, and the eccentricities of Discworld. Unbeknownst to them, their actions set off a chain of events that draw the attention of cosmic entities and put the entire Discworld in jeopardy.

“The Colour of Magic” is a satirical and rollicking introduction to Terry Pratchett’s beloved Discworld series. Filled with humor, clever wordplay, and a delightful disregard for traditional fantasy tropes, this novel is a witty exploration of a world where magic and absurdity go hand in hand. As Rincewind and Twoflower navigate the bizarre landscapes of Discworld, readers are treated to a hilarious and imaginative journey that sets the stage for countless more adventures in this iconic and unconventional fantasy realm.
