The First Discworld Novels: The Colour of Magic and the Light Fantastic -- Terry

<i>The Colour of Magic</i> & <i>The Light Fantastic</i>: This is how the Discworld began... In <i>The Colour of Magic</i> the failed wizard Rincewind burst upon the world and hasn't stopped running since. This was the book that started the phenomenally successful fantasy series. Here is the sapient pearwood Luggage, a mobile trunk which launders any clothes put in it and incidentally homicidally defends its owner. Here is Twoflower, an innocent tourist in a world of nightmares and fairy tales gone wrong. Here is Cohen the Barbarian, the world's oldest and greatest hero. Here is Death, not such a bad sort when you get to know him... They have adventures. It'd take to long too explain.
