But when Mort is left in charge for an evening, he allows his heart to rule his head and soon the whole of causality and the future of the Discworld itself, are at risk. Along the way, Mort encounters not only Death's adopted daughter, Ysavbell - who has been 16 for 35 years - and his mysterious manservant Albert - whose cooking can harden an artery at ten paces - but also an incompetent wizard with a talking doorknocker and a beautiful, but rather bad-tempered and dead, princess. He also, of course, meets Death." Packed weight 245gms. IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH  .

The story follows Mort, a young and somewhat bumbling teenager, who is hired as an apprentice by Death himself. In the Discworld universe, Death is portrayed as a skeletal figure who oversees the passing of souls. Mort's new job involves assisting Death with his duties, but things take an unexpected turn when Mort prevents the death of a princess named Keli. This act disrupts the natural order of things and creates chaos in the Discworld. As a result, Mort must navigate the consequences of his actions, all while trying to rectify the balance of life and death. The novel combines fantasy elements with humor and satire, exploring themes of mortality, destiny, and the consequences of meddling with the natural order. Pratchett's wit and clever storytelling make "Mort" a beloved installment in the Discworld series, offering both entertaining escapades and thought-provoking commentary on life and death.
