Opis: The Discworld Bestiary - Terry Pratchett

Step into the weird and wonderful world of Sir Terry Pratchett's iconic Discworld universe with this fully illustrated guide to its most curious, dangerous, and downright baffling creatures. Discover the best way to care for the Terrible Man-Eating Sloth of Clup, the eating habits of the Ambiguous Puzuma, and marvel at the startling prevalence of ominous ducks in cosmic matters. Wriggling with insights and crawling with wisdom, The Discworld Bestiary is packed with extra advice from Rincewind, Unseen University’s latest (and reluctant) adjunct professor of Perplexing Beasts and curator of its Curiobiological Museum.

With beautiful illustrations - including new artwork - from Paul Kidby, Pratchett's longtime artistic collaborator, this is the perfect gift book for fans of Pratchett’s bestselling fantasy series, Discworld.
