Úžasná Zeměplocha Terryho Pratchetta, putující vesmírem na hřbetech čtyř slonů, stojících na krunýři obrovské želvy, je domovem některých nejpopulárnějších postav, jaké kdy byly vytvořeny ve světě fantastické literatury. Obyvatelé Zeměplochy jsou však skuteční, i když je jejich svět trošku... fantastický. Čtenáři mají své oblíbence a vedou zapálené debaty o tom, jak ta která postava skutečně vypadá. Tak teď jsou tady včetně bradavic (s vyjímkou Bábi Zlopočasné) a všech ostatních podrobností. Terry Pratchett a malíř Paul Kidby se spojili a společně vytvořili jejich podoby. Zachytili je jak v náčrtcích, tak na baravných tabulích, od neschopného mága Mrakoplaše po Silvera, onoho napůl polidštěného kocoura. Obázky jsou doplněny krátkými, tradičně seriózními texty.

Nové vydání dává vyniknout původnímu textu od Terryho Pratchetta a Stephena Briggse a kresbám Paula Kidbyho, prozradí vám ještě více o fungování některých jedinečných institucí v Ankh-Morporku, zjistíte, že už se nemůžete divit neuvěřitelně vysoké úmrtnosti v rodině Nobyho Nóblhócha, naučíte se překonávat drobné nedostatky, jako je pití lidské krve, nebo přeměnu v netopýra a věnujete pozornost strašlivým varováním paní Kosmopilíkové o tom nejtemnějším vtělení - její sousedce, paní Lehkochodné, vládkyni temnoty.
