Product Information

Terry Pratchett's Going Postal (2010), an adaptation of Going Postal starring Richard Coyle, David Suchet, Charles Dance, Claire Foy, Steve Pemberton, Andrew Sachs and Tamsin Greig. Not only just the art, but also the narration by Pratchett gave some insight of the author himself about the characters and setting of Discworld. The book details every major lead character from the Discworld books and gives them background information, including how Pratchett visualises them and the inspiration behind them. The latter novel also reveals that Susan possesses a sort of hyperawareness of the world around her, in that she is " aware of every step of the rocks beneath [her] feet and the stars overhead.

After graduating — and despite being Duchess of Sto Helit — she begins a teaching career, first as a governess, in Hogfather, and then as a schoolteacher, in Thief of Time. She largely despises people but takes on the role of their healer and protector because no one else can do this as well as she can. During this tribute, Rincewind and the parrot explore the temple of Quezovercoatl (a parody of Quetzalcoatl), where they find a prisoner, Ponce da Quirm (a parody of Juan Ponce de León), who is to be sacrificed.

Susan has inherited Death's perfect memory, which includes the ability to " remember the future", and an instinctive knowledge of the nature of Death's work, which gives her considerable assistance during her brief time doing her grandfather's job in Soul Music. Witches in Pratchett's universe are largely stripped of their modern occultist associations (though Pratchett does frequently use his stories to lampoon such conceptions of witchcraft), and act as herbalists, nurses, adjudicators and wise women. Here you will find favourites old and new: the City Watch, including Vimes, Carrot and Angua, the three witches – Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick – and the denizens of the Unseen University Library, not forgetting the Librarian, of course. Other main characters include Angua, a werewolf, Detritus, a troll, Reg Shoe, a zombie and Dead Rights campaigner, Cuddy, a Dwarf who appears in Men at Arms, and Golem Constable Dorfl. This upbringing has instilled in her a certain lack of romanticism; her personal appraisal of " a poem about daffodils" is, " Apparently the poet had liked them very much.Susan is the daughter of Ysabell, Death's daughter via adoption, who is introduced in The Light Fantastic, and Mort, who was briefly Death's apprentice in the book Mort.
