bite off way more than they can chew when summoning a dragon. After the dragon becomes king of Ankh-Morpork(!), Vimes, Carrot and the other guards — with the help of the Librarian (ook!) and Lady Ramkin — try to stop the dragon. Good stuff.
You haven't read all of Pratchett yet?

There's a new Pratchett out:
https://www.amazon.com/Stroke-Pen-Lost-Stories-ebook/dp/B0C9JJJWPF/
It collects short stories he wrote under pseudonyms for local papers
in SW England during the 70s and 80s, recovered by some very dedicated
fans.
Its very minor Pratchett - there's only one, I think, that leans
towards a Discworld setting.
But for the completist, this is gold.
Interesting - I was unaware. Thanks.
