The Streets of Ankh-Morpork

Published 5th November 1993

‘THERE’S A SAYING THAT ALL ROADS LEAD TO ANKH-MORPORK. AND IT’S WRONG. ALL ROADS LEAD AWAY FROM ANKH-MORPORK, BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST WALK ALONG THE WRONG WAY’ from Moving Pictures

Ankh-Morpork! City of One Thousand Surprises (according to the famous publication by the Guild of Merchants)! All human life is there! Although, if it walks down the wrong alley, often quite briefly!

The city celebrated in the bestselling Discworld series by Terry Pratchett has been meticulously mapped for the first time. It’s all here – from Unseen University to the Shades, from major landmarks like the Patrician’s Palace to little-known, er, nooks like Dwarf Bread Museum in Whirligig Alley. See the famous streets along which so many heroes have walked, in some cases quite hurriedly!

As leading Ankh-Morpork entrepreneur C.M.O.T. Dibbler would say, A nip at any price – and that’s cutting our own throat. Well, close.
