Product Description
Product Description
From the Back Cover
Not only an artistic and breathtaking view of Lancre but also an interesting and informative guide to one of the Discworld's more, er, picturesque kingdoms.
Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick live there. Lancre could hardly be somewhere ordinary, could it?
Magic glues the Discworld together and a lot of it ends up in Lancre, principal Kingdom of the Ramtop Mountains. Between Uberwald and Whale Bay, the Octarine Grass Country and the Widdershins Ocean lies the most exciting and dangerous terrain in all Discworld. The Ramtops supply Discworld with most of its witches and wizards. The leaves on the trees in the Ramtops move even when there is no breeze. Rocks go for a stroll in the evening. Even the land, at times, seems alive.
The mapp may only be two-dimensional, but watch it very carefully and you might see it jostle about a bit.
TERRY PRATCHETT is Britain's most successful author of comic fantasy, probably the hardest-working writer in the business and a generally all-round good chap.
STEPHEN BRIGGS is none of these, but knows even more about the Discworld than Mr Pratchett which is, when you think about it, very odd.

Good, But The Other Maps Are Better,
By Coporal Nobbs (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Tourist Guide to Lancre (Paperback)
This map is a good map for those people (like me) who are addicted to Pratchett. Like the others, it helps so much with the visualisation of the places of the book (hubwise, rimwise - it all gets blurred after awhile). However, the map's only negative aspect was that it was a very large map with only a bit of detail here and there - Everything looked a bit spaced out.

Discworld fans need this,
By Matthew Senne "literate fellow" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Tourist Guide to Lancre (Paperback)
I had some ideas of what Pratchett was writing about when he described Lancre, but it's so much nicer to have an aerial view of the castle, Bad Ass, the witches' cottages, and environs. I can place the scenes more easily now, and fill in ground-level views with my imagination. But with this little bit of artistry I feel like I understand the settings better than before with map in hand.
Makes a great piece for your wall.

Love Discworld Maps,
By M. Lion "M. Lion" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Tourist Guide to Lancre (Paperback)
Great service from vendor. Product arrived on time and I do so want more Discworld maps. If you want to frame the map, I suggest getting two as the map comes with a guide and both the guide and the map are glued to a cover.
