The Wyrdest Link by David Langford is the second Discworld quizbook, based on the well-known comic fantasy series by Terry Pratchett. The late and much missed Josh Kirby -- whose last Discworld cover this was -- painted the series' orangutan Librarian with a distinct and deliberate look of Anne Robinson. There is an introduction by Terry Pratchett.

Lionel Fanthorpe's back-jacket blurb line reads: "I'd be willing to wrestle a polar bear if it was lying on a Langford book that I hadn't yet read!"
