Discworld creator, Terry Pratchett is currently doing a book
signing tour throughout the US for his two new books, Thud! and
Where's My Cow? culminating in the UK at the Forbidden Planet
Megastore, London.
In Thud! Commander Sam Vines trying to prevent the re-occurrence of
the legendary battle of Koom Valley from taking place on the streets of
Ankh-Morpork. Of course anybody who knows their history knows it was the time
when the dwarves ambushed the trolls, or maybe it was the trolls who ambushed
the dwarves but anyway, had it not been for the great battle then the popular,
strategy board game of Thud! would never have been invented.
Amongst the skulduggery and conspiracies, Vimes must also be at home at six
o'clock every night to read Where's My Cow? to his son. Vime's
hard-nosed cynicism doesn't sit well with reading about 'moo-cows' and
'baa-lambs' so he 'adapts' the book in his own indeterminable way.
Where's My Cow? is a, "Discworld picture book for people of all
sizes."
Pratchett's schedule runs like this but it is always worth contacting the
relevant store in advance to ensure the itinerary hasn't changed.
