Dane Cobain's Reviews > Mrs Bradshaw's Handbook

This fun, quick and easy little read is a Discworld spin on the real life Bradshaw Guides, which were guides to the railways.

Railways came to the Discworld relatively late, long after the point at which I binged through all of the books to date, but I kind of like that. They’re perhaps the newest and most important innovation on the Discworld since the deployment of the Clacks, and they basically make fast travel possible within the novels.

In Mrs Bradshaw’s Handbook, the titular Mrs Bradshaw takes us through all of the different towns and villages that the Disc’s trains stop at, giving us a little information on what’s on offer at each location. It’s a lot of fun, like taking a holiday.
