| 1 | * GeniusBonus: Queen Ynci's name is somewhat reminiscent of the Iceni, a British tribe that was also famous for a chariot-riding warrior queen: Boudicca. |
| 2 | ** ''Pongo'' (the name on the Librarian's collar when the wizards force him to pretend to be their pet) is the taxonomic nomenclature for the orangutan. |
| 3 | * HarsherInHindsight: The descriptions of Granny's unstable mind after the thoughts from her alternate life start seeping in are rather unnerving given that Pratchett would later suffer from Alzheimer's Disease. |
| 4 | * HilariousInHindsight: One American publisher completely got the wrong end of the stick and mentioned something about a football team in the synopsis (apparently a misunderstanding of the Morris Men). Pratchett dryly remarked that football was one subject he'd never write a Discworld book on. Years later, cue ''Literature/UnseenAcademicals''. |
| 5 | ** The description of the Elf queen's true form - triangular face, huge eyes, tiny mouth and nose - sounds rather similar to that of an anime character. |
| 6 | *** Or TheGreys. |
| 7 | * RecycledScript: The childhood connection between Esme Weatherwax and Mustrum Ridcully seems to be based on the one between Esme and Cutangle in ''Literature/EqualRites'' (of course, like all early senior wizards in the series, Cutangle has presumably long since been assassinated). |
