Narren, Diebe und Vampire: Das Beste aus zehn Jahren Schweibenwelt-Kalendern, translated: Fools, Thieves, and Vampires: The best of a decade of Discworld Diaries. One of the splendid miscellany of books about Discworld with no specific novel value, but with background details in that no fan would dream of not knowing, combining all the information from the previous diaries into a single collection.

Description

Here they are now re-assembled, together with the unique illustrations by Paul Kidby - an indispensable compendium for each old and new Scheibenweltfan (Discworld fan)
