Synopsis

When the Hogfather, Discworld’s rather unusual version of Father Christmas, mysteriously vanishes on Hogswatch Eve, Death himself takes it upon himself to fill the role, delivering presents and trying, in his own inimitable way, to keep Hogswatch alive. Meanwhile, his granddaughter Susan is drawn into the mystery, uncovering a plot that threatens not just the Hogfather, but the very fabric of belief itself. Along the way, we encounter a wonderfully eccentric cast of characters, from assassins and auditors to unlikely gods and unlikelier heroes, in a story that balances festive warmth with Pratchett’s trademark wit, satire and a deliciously dark twist.

Following her brilliant work on The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe last year, The Railway Children in 2024 and James and the Giant Peach in 2023, Emily Myerscough returns to bring this wonderfully strange and sharply funny festive tale to life.
