Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983.

His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.www.terrypratchettbooks.com

This is the best Pratchett I've read ... Ought to be a strong contender for The Booker Prize" Sunday Telegraph "Reads with all the polished fluency and sure-footed pacing that have become Pratchett's hallmarks over the years" The Times "The unique selling point of the Discworld novels, is their irony, allied to lashings of broad pantomime humour" TES
