| | Terry Pratchett |
| | Master of comic fantasy, Terry Pratchett was born (in 1948) and bred in England (where he still lives) and sold his first short story at age 14. | | | Through this original Terry Pratchett story (with intervening chapters from Cohen and Stewart) we discover how puny and insignificant individual lives are against a cosmic backdrop of creation and disaster. | | | The Discworld might have started out in the imagination of its Creator, Terry Pratchett, but over the past 30 or more books, it has taken on a life of its own. |

| | Terry Pratchett |
| | Anyone who doesn't like Terry Pratchett enough to wade into one of his novels (someone who doesn't know his work, in other words) and wants to try him out should not judge the rest of his work by this. | | | For the majority of Terry's vast following, the news that his latest novel is available in paperback is normally enough to prompt a sprint to the nearest book retailer. | | | Travellers returning from the furthest reaches of Outer Mongolia, having lived there for the past twenty years in a peasant's hovel without the benefit of the print, televisual or film media may wonder what the story is about and if it is any good. |

| | Pratchett says he hopes the books are generally written to be accessible at any point. | | | He thinks they love the humour and is always swamped at his signings including one occasion where he was asked to sign thirteen books for a group of nuns. | | | The new book sees main character Moist Van Lipwig finding himself with a noose around his neck dropping through a trapdoor but it's not his maker he meets but Lord Vetinari. |

| | As with many of the later Terry Pratchett books, this one is not laugh-out-loud funny like the early ones were. | | | Clearly, Pratchett is far more interested in helping his readers confront the world than in carving himself a comfortable niche among escapist fantasy writers. | | | All Terry Pratchett's characters are fascinating in their own way. |

| | Terry Pratchett |
| | With his keen scientific eye, and his endlessly inventive ‘multiverse’ Pratchett cooks up a version of reality — updated with each new book — that is almost impossible to resist. | | | In his novels Pratchett reminds us that a hackneyed phrase was once a truth, and can become so again through a simple tinkering with the language, ‘the world was your mollusc,’ (Witches Abroad, 1991). | | | And whilst the earlier novels were generally more light-hearted, with much of the humour being derived from straight gags, there are darker and more sombre tones creeping into the novels of late, the humour coming more from character and situation. |

| | Terry Pratchett is, hands down, Britain's bestselling living novelist. | | | Awarded the Order of the British Empire in 1998 -- though he makes a shooing motion at me when I call him "Sir Terry" -- Pratchett maintains the humor and questioning way of looking at the world that has helped him build such a large and loyal readership. | | | Those 28 books have been translated into 27 languages and have sold over 22 million copies. |

| | Terry Pratchett writes |
| | She'd stopped reading the kind of women's magazine that talked about romance and knitting and started reading the kind of women's magazine that talked about orgasms, but apart from making a mental note to have one if ever the occasion presented itself she dismissed them as only romance and knitting in a new form. | | | For example, the greedy Seriph of Al-Yabi was cursed by a badly-educated deity and for some days everything he touched turned to Glod, which happened to be the name of a small dwarf from a mountain community hundreds of miles away who found himself magically dragged to the kingdom and relentlessly duplicated. | | | For every mad scientist who's had a convenient thunderstorm just on the night his Great Work is complete and lying on the slab, there have been dozens who've sat around aimlessly under the peaceful stars while Igor clocks up the overtime. |

| | His books are full of humor and it's impossible to read one of his books without laughing at least once a chapter. | | | It's said that he has done the same to Fantasy that Douglas Adams has done to Science Fiction, and if you like humor, or if you've read the Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy and liked that book, you are definitely going too like Pratchett's books. | | | But in 1983, he wrote his first Discworld novel, The Color of Magic, and that changed his life. |
