Eric calls up a demon to grant him three wishes - but what he gets is the Discworld's most incompetent wizard...

Terry Pratchett's hilarious take on the Faust legend stars many of the Discworld's most popular characters in an outrageous adventure that will leave Eric wishing once more - this time, quite fervently, that he'd never been born.
