Originally an illustrated novel with Josh Kidby, this book is the 9th discworld novel. A parody on Faust and a sort of sequel to Sourcery, it's a very funny book, with weird characters and even weirder backgrounds: from the beginning of the Discworld to the end of the universe, from a room in Quirm to the jungles of Klatch - a hilarious ride for Rincewind the wizard, who gets mistaken for a demon by young Eric. Eric wants three wishes: to rule the world, the most beautiful woman in the world, and to live forever. Of course, when Rincewind is involved, things won�t turn out as you expect them to.
