Autorentext

Sir Terry Pratchett

The Amazing Maurice is the first animated feature film to be based on a Terry Pratchett novel. With more than 100 million books sold worldwide in 37 languages, Terry Pratchett was awarded an OBE in 1998 and knighted for services to literature in 2009. The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents was the 28th book published in the Discworld® series of 41 books, and the first primarily written for a younger audience, winning the Carnegie Medal in 2001.

Klappentext

The funniest, most insighftul, clever and totally bonkers parody of all things Shakespeare, filled to the brim with Pratchett's signature style.

'Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own' The Times

'The Discworld novels have always been among the most serious of comedies, the most relevant and real of fantasies' Independent

'An enduring, endearing presence in comic literature' Guardian

Witches are not by nature gregarious, and they certainly don't have leaders.

Granny Weatherwax was the most highly regarded of the leaders they didn't have.

But even she found that meddling in royal politics was a lot more difficult than certain playwrights would have you believe...
