Product Description

Product Description

A discworld map revealing the house and garden that Death built. It shows the golf course that's not so much crazy as insane, and the dark gardens. You can also find out the reason why Death can't understand rockeries, and what happens to garden gnomes.


From the Back Cover

The house that Death built...and the garden too.

DEATH'S DOMAIN

It's no more than a breath away...

Everyone needs a place to relax after a long day, after all. So here is the place where the Grim Reaper can kick back and take the load off his scythe. Here's the golf course that's not so much crazy as insane, and the useless maze, and the dark gardens - all brought (incongruously) to life. And here, for the first time ever, you will find out the reason why Death can't understand rockeries, and what happened to garden gnomes.

As Death rides Binky into the sunset (of other people's lives), you can at last see what he gets up to when he's not at work.

TERRY PRATCHETT is the author of over twenty Discworld novels, the most popular comic fantasy series on this, or any other, planet. He lives behind a keyboard in Wiltshire.

PAUL KIDBY has illustrated Discworld and its inhabitants in The Pratchett Portfolio, The Discworld Diaries and A Tourist Guide to Lancre. He lives behind an easel in Somerset.

4.0 out of 5 stars Below average Pratchett, but that's still briliant, 24 Aug 2004
By David M. Kennedy "Daibhid C" (Inverness) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It's pretty good. I mean, Kidby's a brilliant artist, and getting the all-the-colours-of-black colour scheme to work at all should have earned him a medal of some sort.

I agree with others that maybe it's lacking a bit in actual information. But since *all* the rooms in the house are infinite, I can't imagine how a floor plan would work. Much like the map in A Tourist's Guide to Lancre, this is just for looking at and marveling. Every time I look at it I notice something else.

And yeah, maybe it doesn't look exactly the way I visualised the Domain either, but Terry had final say on this, and wrote the acompanying booklet, so I'm prepared to accept that he knows what it looks like better than I do 8-).

The booklet... well, okay, it doesn't really tell us anything about Death we don't already know. But the description of why his house looks like it does, or his attempts to understand mazes or golf, give a better insight into what we already know, I think.

Basically, not the best Practchett's ever written, but still better than most of the stuff out there and linked to possibly one of the best Kidby's ever painted.

2.0 out of 5 stars THERE ARE BETTER THINGS IN THE WORLD..., 10 April 2000
By A Customer
This book/map, which is the fourth map from the Pratchett multiverse, is for the avid reader who has all the books by Terry Pratchett and is desperate enough for more material ... The writing is excellent, as always, but there are only 23 (quick count) pages of it. The rest of the product (except for the title pages etc.) consists of a large map following the same standard as the three other maps. The problem with it is that it doesn't enhance the reading of the novels in any way at all. The first two maps, Ankh-Morpork and, to a lesser degree, Discworld, added to the fun by letting the reader follow the protagonists' journeys while reading the novels. This map from the domain of one of Discworld's most amusing and easiest recognizable characters does no such thing. It is nice-looking but nothing more. It doesn't really tell me anything more about Discworld than that the author has no intention to starve.

What I really would wish is a collection of the text-bits from the maps together with Terry's excellent short stories in one book. That way we could avoid all the empty filling.

Ok, here's the full quote, taken from the book:

Death: "THERE ARE BETTER THINGS IN THE WORLD THAN ALCOHOL, ALBERT"

Albert: "Oh, yes, sir. But alcohol sort of compensates for not getting them."

2.0 out of 5 stars Not terribly good value, 14 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Well, it's a pretty map(p), and the accompanying words are witty as ever, but at the price I do feel short-changed. Need more words (in a smaller font, so as not to fill space so much), or perhaps it could have included a floor plan of the house, better still both.

Have a look at someone else's and save your money.

A map of Ankh-Morpork is essential. A map of Discworld is an excellent idea. A map of Lancre is interesting. A map of Death's Domain seems pointless. Read more
