Discworld Companion Books Series by Terry Pratchett, Stephen Briggs, The Discworld Emporium

The Ankh-Morpork Assassins' Guild* in its modern form is the result of Lord Vetinari's distinctive civic policy, and is renowned across the Discworld. It offers the best all-round education in the world, because a qualified assassin should be at home in any company, and able to play at least one musical instrument. Anyone inhumed by a graduate of the Guild school can go to his rest satisfied that he has been annulled by someone of taste and discretion... moreThe Ankh-Morpork Assassins' Guild* in its modern form is the result of Lord Vetinari's distinctive civic policy, and is renowned across the Discworld.

There is always a place and a custard pie in the face for any young boy with an amusing hump, speech impediment or other laughable deformity. As with previous diaries in the series, the usual mundane dates are complemented by the Discworld's own special occasions, so you will always know when to expect the Soul Cake Duck's choccie eggs and which days are most auspicious for the throwing of custard pies. less
