What is Moving Pictures about?
A paperback edition with the original cover art of the classic fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett, a standalone Discworld novel.
'Funny, delightfully inventive, and refuses to lie down in its genre' Observer
‘Fantastic, funny fantasy from the master. I enjoyed it from start to finish’ 5-star reader review
'Holy wood is a different sort of place . . . Here, the most important thing is to be important.'
A new phenomenon is taking over the Discworld: moving pictures.
Created by the alchemists of Ankh-Morpork, the growing 'clicks' industry moves to the sandy land of Holy Wood, attracted by the light of the sun and some strange calling no one can quite put their finger on...
Also drawn to Holy Wood are aspiring young stars Victor Tugelbend, a wizarding student dropout, and Theda 'Ginger' Withel, a small-town girl with big dreams.
But behind the glitz and glamour of the clicks, a sinister presence lurks. Because belief is powerful in the Discworld, and sometimes downright dangerous...
The magic of movies might just unravel reality itself.
The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Moving Pictures is a standalone.
