Unseen Academicals

The latest "Discworld" novel, which is destined to become a bestseller. Football has come to the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork, although maybe not the version we're familiar with. The prospect of the Big Match draws in a variety of people, and the lives of four people are entangled and changed forever. 'Pratchett is as funny as Wodehouse and as witty as Waugh' "Independent" Football has come to the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork - not the old fashioned, grubby pushing and shoving, but the new, fast football with pointy hats for goalposts and balls that go going when you drop them. And now, the wizards of Unseen University must win a football match, without using magic, so they're in the mood for trying everything else.
