Designing Terry Pratchett’s Discworld

The Lost Stories

A Stroke of the Pen

Dodger

The Discworld is undoubtedly Sir Terry Pratchett's most famous creation. A universe teeming with dwarves, trolls, witches, and social and cultural issues that parallel those in our own world, all wrapped up in Pratchett's inimitable comic delivery. This iconic series will make you laugh, then make you think.

Pratchett's one-liners, the comic dialogue of the Feegles, the satire about teenagers and the credulousness of the ordinary folk make for a characteristically entertaining mix

Terry Pratchett kicks the bejaysus out of JK Rowling . . . If you haven't read Pratchett before then give yourself a treat and buy this book

Charming in every sense of the word. Beautifully written and at times highly comic, it is an extraordinary achievement

Sure to be as popular with both children and adults as all his other books

Lively wit, sly wisdom and compelling narratives

Pratchett's usual mix of  uproarious comedy and deceptively serious thought

He's probably the funniest writer in English today . . . great themes with huge doses of comedy

Pratchett's one-liners, the comic dialogue of the Feegles, the satire about teenagers and the credulousness of the ordinary folk make for a characteristically entertaining mix.

Terry Pratchett kicks the bejaysus out of JK Rowling...If you haven't read Pratchett before then give yourself a treat and buy this book.

...charming in every sense of the word. Beautifully written and at times highly comic, it is an extraordinary achievement...

Wintersmith is not written and does not read as a "young adult" book, and succeeds all the more for that. Very enjoyable.

...sure to be as popular with both children and adults as all his other books.

[The Discworld books] have retained the lively wit, sly wisdom and compelling narratives

...Pratchett's usual mix of  uproarious comedy and deceptively serious thought...

He's probably the funniest writer in English today....great themes with huge doses of comedy.

...bookshelves everywhere would be poorer without the Discworld.

A new Terry Pratchett is always a big event and true-to-form Wintersmith is crackling with energy and humour.

Pratchett fans would love to find this under the Christmas tree.

This is a classic from the carnegie medal winning author. Engaging, entertaining and bursting with humour.

Full length novel with loads of humour, magic and adventure.

(Discworld Novel 35)

'Crivens!' 
Tiffany Aching put one foot wrong, made just one little mistake . . . 
 
And now the spirit of winter is in love with her. He gives her roses and icebergs and showers her with snowflakes, which is tough when you're thirteen, but also just a little bit . . . cool. 
 
And if Tiffany doesn't work out how to deal with him, there will never be another springtime . . . 
 
Crackling with energy and humour, Wintersmith is the third tale in a sequence about Tiffany Aching and the Wee Free Men - the Nac Mac Feegles who are determined to help Tiffany, whether she wants it or not.

The third tale in a gloriously inventive fantasy sequence of tales about Tiffany Aching - young witch - and the Nac Mac Feegle - the Wee Free Men.

Terry Pratchett (Author) 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.
