DISCWORLD GOES TO WAR, WITH ARMIES OF SARDINES, WARRIORS, FISHERMEN, SQUID AND AT LEAST ONE VERY CAMP FOLLOWER. As two armies march, Commander Vimes of Ankh-Morpork City Watch faces unpleasant foes who are out to get him...and that's just the people on his side. The enemy might be even worse. Jingo, the 21st in Terry Pratchett's phenomenally successful Discworld series, makes the World Cup look like a friendly five-a-side.

The day Jingo rode into Tower Creek, the town was busy celebrating its twentieth anniversary. The big event of the festival was a high-stakes poker game in Joe Slade’s saloon with Wally Rankin holding most of the chips. But it didn’t take long for Jingo to figure out why: Rankin was cheating. And it would only take a couple of well-placed bullets to reveal it to the others in the room.

"Jingo was lost on a snowy winter night in Santaland and found in the forest by Prancer, one of Santa's reindeer. The little white reindeer soon became Santa's favorite little pet, living with him and sleeping next to Santa's fireplace. As time goes on, Jingo does not grow and bigger. On Christmas Eve, Jingo wants to help pull the sleigh, but he is too small and Santa tells him, "Not until you are bigger." This is a beautiful story, set in Santaland at Christmastime. It will capture the hearts and imagination of all who read it."--Back.

Discworld goes to war! Somewhere in the Circle Sea between Ankh-Morpork and Al-Khali, the Lost Kingdom of Leshp has emerged after hundreds of years beneath the waves. And so with no ships, no army and no money, Ankh-Morpork goes to war against the Klatchian army claiming the rock as their own. Undaunted by the prospect of being tortured to death by vastly superior numbers of enemy troops, a small band of intrepid men and a very thick troll set out under the command of Sir Samuel Vimes of the City Watch. If they can survive long enough, maybe they can arrest an entire army for breach of the peace...

Originally published in 1893, Thomas Bland Strange's autobiography is more entertaining than most military memoirs because Strange writes vividly and makes no effort to conceal his prejudices and eccentricities. This is one of the best sources for the history of the North West Rebellion and especially the Alberta Force Field.

Jingo Hawks is out of luck when Mrs. Daggatt from the orphan house hires him out as a chimney sweep to the awful General Dirty-Face Scurlock.

Oh By Jingo is a collection of tales of childhood adventure and drama in small-town Missouri in the 1930's. The stories center around an intense sibling rivalry between the author, David L. "Dave" McKinsey and John J. "Jerry " McKinsey which culminated in an immutable brotherly bond. Their cousin Mark Twain would have enjoyed these stories as much as you will!
