About this book
In Britain it has been estimated that 10% of all books sold are fantasy. And of that fantasy, 10% is written by Terry Pratchett. That means that 1% of all books sold in Britain are written by Terry Pratchett.So throwing caution to the wind, let's enter a world where the Librarian is an orang-utan, luggage has legs, and where Death may come to visit, on his holidays. A world which is flat and balanced upon elephants stood on the back of a giant turtle. Welcome to Discworld.The success of the best-selling Discworld series has been so phenomenal that there have been radio serialisations, TV adaptations, numerous plays, dozens of audiobooks, pottery figures, calendars, diaries, an encyclopedia, a couple of computer games, a quizbook, a CD of music inspired by Discworld, several fanzines, newsgroups, fanclubs and a couple of Discworld Conventions. There was even a whole volume of criticism discussing Terry Pratchett's work. And this one makes it two.This volume is a book by book analysis of the complete Discworld series and of the other novels by Pratchett. From The Carpet People to Strata, the Bromeliad, The Johnny Maxwell Trilogy, Good Omens, The Science of Discworld, the Discworld sequence from The Colour of Magic to Thief of Time, and not forgetting a cat that is Unadulterated, this book covers the lot.
