Publisher's Synopsis

A hilarious take on the movie industry and all its foibles. Moving Pictures is filled to the brim with Sir Terry Pratchett's signature wit and cutting humour



'An enduring, endearing presence in comic literature' Guardian


The alchemists of the Discworld have discovered the magic of the silver screen. But what is the dark secret of Holy Wood hill?

It's up to Victor Tugelbend ('Can't sing. Can't dance. Can handle a sword a little') and Theda Withel ('I come from a little town you've probably never heard of') to find out...

MOVING PICTURES, THE TENTH DISCWORLD NOVEL IS A GLORIOUSLY FUNNY SAGA SET AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF A WORLD GONE MAD!

Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'[Pratchett] makes his plot sing and dance and doesn't let any plates drop to the floor as they spin for hours. He makes you laugh and makes you think' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
