Moving Pictures by Terry Pratchett
Holy wood is a different sort of place. People act differently here. Everywhere else the most important things are gods or money or cattle. Here, the most important thing is to be important.' People might say that reality is a quality that things possess in the same way that they possess weight. Sadly alchemists never really held with such a quaint notion. They think that they can change reality, shape it to their own purpose. Imagine then the damage that could be wrought if they get their hands on the ultimate alchemy: the invention of motion pictures, the greatest making of illusions. It may be a triumph of universe-shaking proportions. It's either that or they're about to unlock the dark terrible secret of the Holy Wood hills - by mistake...
"A true original among contemporary writers" The Times "Cracking dialogue, compelling illogic and unchained whimsy..Pratchett has a subject and a style that is very much his own" The Sunday Times "Offers more entertainment per page than anything this side of Wodehouse" Washington Post Book World
