This series is hilarious. The humor is different from that of Pratchett, but the net result is the same - side splitting laughter in a fantasy genre. Good luck getting a copy though - its been out of print for ages, and no, you can't have mine...

Silly and fun. Some critic described it as Monty Python-esque on the jacket, which seems just about right to me, though not being a huge fan of Monty Python's brand of humor, this may not be saying much.
