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

Trade Review'Pratchett's writing is a constant delight. No one mixes the fantastical and the mundane to better comic effect or offers sharper insights into the absurdities of human endeavour' * Daily Mail *
'Generous, amusing and the ideal boarding point for those who have never visited Discworld' * Sunday Telegraph *
'Vintage Pratchett... Perennially funny...A sharp satire on the futility of war' * Metro *
'One of those rare writers who appeals to everyone... He satisfies the need for fast-moving breathtaking plots with entirely satisfying endings, and the equally primitive desire for an alternative world, full of thrills but benign, into which one can step for pleasure and enlivenment' * Daily Express *
'Both his inventiveness and his moral shrewdness seem inexhaustible' * Daily Mail *
