It is good to have a look at where it all began again by reading these two books. Of course, there is also a shiny new edition of the pair available this year from Transworld, to tie in with the Sky One Easter showing of the TV film, but this is a graphic novel. I enjoyed seeing what the artist thought the people look like (far more like I imagined them than the makers of the TV film I am relieved to say) and, as with all the best graphic novels the illustrations added a whole new dimension to the story that you don’t get with just a dust jacket. The whole story is in here too (something else you didn’t get with the TV film) and I wasn’t sure how all the footnotes and asides would translate to this new format, but they did. There was even more to laugh at if that is possible with the pictures... I won’t mention TV films again. If this is your first Terry Pratchett I envy you, and you are beginning in the right place. A most attractive and enjoyable addition to the canon.
