Book description
Susan had never hung up a stocking . She'd never put a tooth under
her pillow in the serious expectation that a dentally inclined fairy
would turn up. It wasn't that her parents didn't believe in such
things. They didn't need to believe in them. They know they
existed. They just wished they didn't.
There are those who believe and those who don't. Through the ages,
superstition has had its uses. Nowhere more so than in the Discworld
where it's helped to maintain the status quo. Anything that undermines
superstition has to be viewed with some caution. There may be
consequences, particularly on the last night of the year when the time
is turning. When those consequences turn out to be the end of the
world, you need to be prepared. You might even want more standing
between you and oblivion than a mere slip of a girl - even if she has
looked Death in the face on numerous occasions...
