I'm on a mission to help you find your new favourite books.
This video is a spoiler free introduction on Discworld, one of the largest and greatest literary creations of all time. Ideal for new readers who want to know more about the series, or readers who've explored a few novels and are considering reading all 41 books.
I cover all the mini-series within the series, including the City Watch, the Witches, Death, Rincewind, Moist Von Lipwig and Tiffany Aching, plus stand alone books. I hope you like watching someone getting very excited about this series, cause there's a lot of that going on here!
