There will also be The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, out at
the same time as TLH (the November tour should be busy...)
I've just finished Maurice It'll be interesting to see how Transworld
positions it. It's set in DW. And it is a children's book. Most of
the characters are rats.
How is it a DW book? The world is never mentioned (but hundreds of
books manage not to draw their readers' attention to the fact they're
set on Earth). Uberwald is in there, as a suitable location for the DW
equivalent of Hamelin. The character who appears in every DW book is in
there (with his little friend -- after all, most of the characters are
rats.) But, most of all, it feels like a DW book.

right?
Let's look at the slightly nearer future.
As you are on the subject of new books anyway, how much of a chance
is there that, on the 6th day of April of this year, Donner (the
Rotterdam
bookshop which claims you will be making yet another SF&F author
unhappy on their premises) will have a supply of The Thief of Time?
Or should I be bringing that Kebab for you to sign?

I doubt it!

But we who are the fans will know it is because we have HEARD of Maurice and
his Educated Rodents in other book(s).

By that logic, DSotS is Discworld -- they celebrate Hogswatch, after
all.

It occurs to me that DSotS could conceivably be, if not Discworld, set
in the same universe -- centuries or even millennia later than the other
books. The (descendants of) the humans from the DW books we know and
love have gone on to other parts of the universe, etc.
