The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents is the 28th novel in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. It was the first Discworld book to be aimed at the younger market
a brilliant twist on the tale of the Pied Piper that is funny and irreverent, but also dark and subversive.
The Amazing Maurice is a talking cat, who leads his Educated Rodents, a group of talking rats, as they go from town to town being a plague so that their accomplice, a boy piper, can "lure them all away" from the town, after which they share the money the piper makes. The rats had gained intelligence from eating the waste from the rubbish tip behind Unseen University; Maurice gained it after eating one of the rats (before he was capable of realizing that they were no longer proper rats).
The book itself is in good condition and a great read.
Cheers for looking and happy bidding
