Contrast the Fools' Guild with the Assassins' Guild next door: one is pleasant, light and airy and the corridors echo with the quiet activity of people working hard to master a job they love; the other is gaunt, forbidding and silent, except for the occasional muffled sob . . . The Fools' Guild, founded 150 years ago, is also a hospital, craft standards enforcer, fraternal society and school. 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.

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. You need never be late for an assassination again with this fully functioning diary with all the necessary dates, holidays, notes and a year planner, including Octedays, the exclusive ¿8th Discworld day¿. The fifty-two week spreads will be liberally illustrated by Paul Kidby, with the usual witty, quirky and apposite bons mots from the pen of Terry Pratchett himself. *Motto: NIL MORTIFI, SINE LVCRE
