To those 'in the know'. It should be clear that much of Terry's books evoke 'Filk' songs. One of the better ones being Terror Time in Lancre

I also like Terry's insistence (to the best of memory) "All folk songs start with a long drawn out note, ... to give you time to get away!"

I must join the majority with favorite characters of DEATH & Sam Vimes, however there are bit-part players without whom the whole series would be much poorer. I'm thinking particularly of Mrs (Rosie) Palm, of the guild of seamstresses. She takes such responsibility for her house full of young ladies. Surely a credit to her profession.
