About the Books. This collection opens with The Colour Of Magic, introducing Rincewind, Discworld's most inept wizard, and Twoflower, its first tourist, as they stumble across a flat world balanced on four elephants atop a giant turtle. The Light Fantastic follows immediately, with magic failing across the Disc and a malevolent red star threatening everything, forcing Rincewind back into action he'd rather avoid. Equal Rites shifts focus, following Eskarina Smith, an eighth daughter of an eighth son who inherits a wizard's staff in a world convinced only men can hold magical power — a sharp, funny challenge to Discworld's own rules. Mort introduces one of the series' most enduring characters: Death himself, who hires a gawky teenage apprentice and discovers that understanding humanity is far harder than reaping it. Finally, Sourcery raises the stakes with the arrival of a sourcerer, a wizard squared, whose raw power threatens to tear Unseen University apart. Together these five novels chart Pratchett's development from broad fantasy parody into the richer, character-driven satire that defined the series, introducing recurring figures like Rincewind, Death and Granny Weatherwax..
