About the Author Terry Pratchett is one of the most popular authors writing today. He lives behind a keyboard in Wiltshire and says he 'doesn't want to get a life, because it feels as though he's trying to lead three already'. He was appointed OBE in 1998. He is the author of the phenomenally successful Discworld series and his trilogy for young readers, The Bromeliad, is scheduled to be adapted into a spectacular animated movie. His first Discworld novel for children, THE AMAZING MAURICE AND HIS EDUCATED RODENTS, was awarded the 2001 Carnegie Medal. Table of Contents This spinner of crazy science-fiction tales is a very sophisticated jester','Cracking dialogue, compelling illogic and unchained whimsy' Pratchett has a subject and a style that is very much his own','Pratchett is as funny as Wodehouse and as witty as Waugh','Imagine a collision between Jonathan Swift at his most scatalogically-minded and J.R.R Tolkein on speed' This total mess of- I suppose- a novel, is the joyous outcome' Specifications of Interesting Times (Discworld, #17)
