Dining Table DIscworld - The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents

I mean, I think as a Discworld book, it does lift out quite a bit.

Yes.

The fact they mention it's uber bold is the main thing that means it's Discworld.

And I suppose also the fact that you've got, like, they're from Ankh-Morpork and something magical

wasted.

They mention some of the other... other city a couple of other cities yeah so they

mentioned geography and discord and i suppose we know that some sort of magical like bio waste or something is what made the animals smart so it wasn't like hollywood magic although i feel like with gas boat they kind of he it started with hollywood but then later it sort of seemed to mention the university as well but anyway i know it doesn't feel like it has to be this was not as embedded as other stuff

no

i think it works

i mean obviously you've got talking rats and a talking cat you're talking cat it might be more difficult to pull off in a more you know medieval historical

well but i mean you have talking animal stories that's the thing that exists which we'll go into i'm sure later yes and there's a whole variety of books are like that doesn't really explain it just

happens as

a thing so i think the point with this is that they are different to other rats

I think the basic story, yes, but I think what makes it possibly fun is the other characters, like the mayor's daughter.

Yeah, but none of that has to be Discworld.

No.

It could just be a fantasy, because he's written, obviously, other things.

But I think it works better because, you know, she can reference all the things that she does.

I think it works, you know, because we've got that kind of nod and a wink reference to other things.

I notice it's called A Story of Discworld.

Yeah.

Yes.

So it's not a Discworld novel, or Last Hero was a Discworld fable.

It's not a novel.

This is a novel, but it's a children's novel, or like a YA novel.
