A laugh-out-loud perceptive and thought-provoking fantasy romp dismantling the ridiculousness
of gender inequality'Granny Weatherwax is one of my favourite characters of Pratchett's'
Patrick Rothfuss New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind'Persistently
amusing good-hearted and shrewd' Sunday TimesIt is known as the Discworld. It is a flat planet
supported on the backs of four elephants who in turn stand on the back of the great turtle
A'Tuin as it swims majestically through space. And it is quite possibly the funniest place in
all of creation.The last thing the wizard Drum Billet did before Death laid a bony hand on his
shoulder was to pass on his staff of power to the eighth son of an eighth son. Unfortunately
for his colleagues in the chauvinistic (not to say misogynistic) world of magic he failed to
check on the new-born baby's sex...Terry Pratchett turns his acute satirical eye on sexual
equality and chauvinism in his hilarious third Discworld novel.Readers love Equal Rites:'If you
enjoy British humour witty prose and irreverent fantasy then you'll enjoy this book. It's
original fun and entertaining' Goodreads reviewer 'This was just so incredibly funny
brilliantly written and truly a joy to read . . . just a laugh from start to finish as well as
being a great story' Goodreads reviewer 'This book is vintage Discworld and these two along
with others appear again and again later in the series . . . Pratchett's humour is here in
full force along with his wonderful descriptions and clever stories' Goodreads reviewer 'This
is a very fun approach to standard fantasy creatures such as witches and wizards . . . The
writing style has a touch of humour to it and flows very easily. You pick up the book and never
want to put it down' Goodreads reviewer 'Equal Rights was magical at times funny contained
some philosophical quotes and a light read' Goodreads reviewer 'Granny was such an awesome
character she totally stole the show. Actually it's a tie between Granny and the magical
staff I know it's just a stick but it's a very expressive stick!' Goodreads reviewer
