About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Maurice, an amazing cat who has survived four years on the toughest streets in the whole of the Discworld, reckons that rats are dumb. Clever, OK, but dumb. Maurice, however, is smart. Smart enough to recognize that there's a new kind of rat around - rats who have been eating wizards' rubbish and can now talk. Smart enough to get a pretty amazing idea when he spots a stupid-looking kid playing the flute...

Now Maurice has his very own 'plague of rats' - and his own Pied Piper. And his money-bags are getting fuller and fuller. Until the group reach the farflung village of Bad Blintz...

Critic reviews

Ethically challenging, beautifully orchestrated, philosophically opposed to the usual plot fixes of fantasy

Simply gripping story-telling

Powerful, passionate, mordantly funny and, at one point, unbearably sad

An astonishing novel...I marvelled at the ferociousness of the humour, and the willingness to go into dark places

Great yarn written in fairly simple text

Will take you on a fantastic journey... wonderful, funny and gripping.

Excruciatingly funny, ferociously intelligent.

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of... stuff one can find in a Terry Pratchett book

Amazing Maurice has one of the most satisfying and effective endings in the series!

Humour, humour and more humour, an utterly unpredictable plot, interesting rats - err, characters - and a profound denoument, this is Discworld at its best.

Most relevant

A brilliant story that is well read by Tony Robinson.

Loved all the characters and Terry Pratchett’s humour is spot on as usual.

A great story that’s not just for the kids.
