About this book

Geoffrey is a young boy who is sent to stay with his grandmother in Ankh-Morpork. When a bird defecates on his head and he is told that it is lucky, he becomes obsessed with collecting samples of dung from different creatures to build a museum.

An illustrated children's book by Terry Pratchett, drawn by Peter Dennis, and the book that Sam Vimes reads to his young son in the Discworld novel Snuff. Between the jokes, it has some interesting facts about septic tanks, dunnakin divers and gongfermors, and the way dog muck makes the best leather.
