ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Terry Pratchett's Monstrous Regiment centers on Polly Perks, a young woman who disguises herself as a boy to join the army of Borogravia, a land governed by peculiar religious edicts and engaged in a protracted war. Within this unconventional military group, Polly encounters a diverse cast of characters, including a troll and a vampire, as they navigate the chaotic realities of combat against their enemy, Zlobenia. The narrative humorously explores themes of identity and deception in the face of societal expectations, while also examining the absurdity of war and the complexities of national allegiance in a world shaped by bizarre beliefs.
