What this book is about
It's Hogswatch Night on the Discworld (a winter holiday much like a certain other one), and the Hogfather has gone missing. Death—skull, scythe, and all—must fill in, delivering presents and ho-ho-hoing his way through chimneys, while his granddaughter Susan investigates what happened. Pratchett's twentieth Discworld novel is one of his finest: a hilarious, surprising, and ultimately profound meditation on why stories and belief matter, with a villain (Mr. Teatime) who is genuinely unsettling.
