![]() When Death arrives in the guise of the Hogfather, the elderly man is angry, humiliated, frustrated, and ashamed, until the Hogfather/Death begins supplying him with food items he is familiar with, and best of all, he provides them in a way that is not humiliating to the man. Death provides the elderly man with what he needs, what he knows how to use and enjoy. The scenes that stay in my mind most are a scene where Death finds an elderly poor man being badgered into accepting feast leftovers he does not want. I read it before Christmas and found it to be full of Christmas (or Hogswatch) spirit. ![]() Death demonstrates very surprising humanity and good holiday spirit in the novel. "Hogfather" was a very enjoyable, heart-warming book, in which Death takes over the Hogfather's (Santa) duties on Hogswatch Eve, while Death's granddaughter, with the help of the God of Hangovers, rescues and rejuvenates the Hogfather to his original form. ![]() Terry Pratchett's books are always guaranteed to entertain and engulf your imagination. ![]()
