Thursday Postcard Hunt | Great A'Tuin


Great A'Tuin is a vast star turtle (of the fictional species Chelys galactica) who travels through the universe, carrying four giant elephants who in turn carry the spinning disc of Discworld. That is... the fictional setting for Terry Pratchett's fantasy novels.

I have recently got this postcard from John (the UK), with matching stamps on its back (from this series). I am adding it to Thursday Postcard Hunt because, honestly... Can you imagine a harder work than carrying the world on your back? 

(Have you read the sentence "Interpret the theme any way you wish", by the way?)
