’An enduring, endearing presence in comic literature’ Guardian

’Look after the dead’, said the priests, ’and the dead will look after you’.

Wise words in all probability, but a tall order when you have just become the pharaoh of a small and penniless country whose largesse – and indeed treasury – is unlikely to stretch to the building of a monumental pyramid to honour your dead father.

Readers love Pyramids:

’Clever, funny and amusing. Very familiar and yet fresh. Maybe it’s because I like mummies and ancient Egypt, I enjoyed it so much, but parody on gods and religion is very witty’ Goodreads reviewer,

’Philosophically, this is the richest Discworld novel so far . . . It mounts a delightful critique of tradition and religion’ Goodreads reviewer,

’Oooo, I needed that!!!! Just as exquisite and funny and inelegant as I needed it to be!!!! I LOVE this author!!!’ Goodreads reviewer,
