Footnotes
- ↑ The Colour of Magic is divided into four books, and has separate prologues for the first two: one about the Great A’Tuin and the Disc itself, which comes before the first book (also titled “The Colour of Magic”), and another that introduces the Disc’s gods and their game, before book two (“The Sending of Eight”). This episode was supposed to cover the first prologue and the start of the first book, but Rosemary’s edition, unusually, combines both prologues at the start of the novel, so they end up talking about them both.
