Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling
Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was
published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty
bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies
worldwide. 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.

in that his writing is generous-spirited and
inclusive'—Guardian
'As funny as Wodehouse and as witty as Waugh'—Independent
'Imagine a collision between Jonathan Swift at his most
scatologically-minded and J.R.R. Tolkien on speed'—Daily

story'—Mail on Sunday
