What this book is about
Eric Thursley, age thirteen, has been trying to summon a demon. He accidentally gets Rincewind instead. The mismatched pair then stumble through three classic wishes — with predictably disastrous Pratchettian results. One of the slimmest Discworld novels, originally published as a graphic novel collaboration. Funny, sharp, and vintage Pratchett.
