On a world supported on four elephants standing on the back of the great A'Tuin, a giant turtle swimming slowly through the interstellar gulf, an eccentric expedition sets out to the edge of the planet.
The Color of Magic kicks off the Discworld series with the introduction of Rincewind, a hilariously incompetent wizard whose survival instincts are as inexplicable as they are entertaining, along with the quirky character of the Luggage.
