Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

'IF YOU COULD SELL THE DREAM TO ENOUGH PEOPLE, NO ONE DARED WAKE UP.'

The Royal Bank of Ankh-Morpork is facing a crisis and needs a shake-up in management. Cue Moist von Lipwig, Postmaster General and former con artist. If anyone can rescue the city's ailing financial institution, it's him. He doesn't really want the job, but the thing is, he doesn't have a choice.

Moist has many problems to solve as part of his new role: the chief cashier is almost certainly a vampire, the chairman needs his daily walkies, there's something strange happening in the cellar, and the Royal Mint is running at a loss.

Moist begins making some ambitious changes ... and some dangerous enemies. Because money is power and certain stakeholders will do anything to keep a firm grip on both...

The first book in the Discworld series-The Colour of Magic-was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.
