An exceptional opportunity to meet the author of the famous Earthsea
Terry Pratchett was one of the most important fantasy authors of the last half century. In his lifetime, he completed 41 books, which have been translated into nearly 40 languages, and his stories from the world of Earthsea, the Long Universe, Carpets and Good Omens are still lovingly quoted by readers around the world.
When he was diagnosed with a rare form of Alzheimer's disease at the age of 59, he began working on his own biography with his assistant - although he vowed never to write a book like it. Rob Wilkins has recorded a series of Pratchett stories, illustrating his extraordinary life from childhood to adulthood, from reading his first books to writing his last, capturing this extraordinary author in a way that may surprise many of his fans. They will learn what Pratchett's worst shift as a journalist was, which animals he liked and which people he annoyed, what gave him anxiety attacks and what gave him joy, or which famous writer he once stood next to at the urinals in his youth.
In short, here is the long-awaited guide to the world of an author who managed to create a number of strange worlds himself.
A portrait of Terry Pratchett, with all his faults and foibles, that gives a friendly wink to all lovers of his fantastic stories.
