"All" Jolson is a pet so huge that he shows up on an atlas and changes the orbit of smaller planets. Paving stones cracked under his feet. He combines in one body Marapets' best Vlad chef and its keenest eater, a circumstance made in mashed potato heaven. Nobody remembers what his real first name had been; he’d picked up the nickname by general acclaim, since no one seeing him in the street for the first time could believe that it was all Jolson. -Adapted from The Discworld Series: The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett
