The Terry Pratchett Collection brings readers beautiful hardback editions of the novels of the Discworld to collect and treasure,featuring new cover artwork by Joe McLaren.
Only the mind of Terry Pratchett could have come up with something as ambitious,all-encompassing,magical,bonkers and brilliant as The Discworld. In 41 novels,published over 31 years Pratchett created an entire universe with a rich and diverse cast of characters; from the Machiavellian Patrician Vetinari (handy with a knife,expert crossword completer),magical practitioners of every kind (pompous,absent-minded wizards and stubborn,no-nonsense witches) to Death himself (a curry-loving,cat-friendly philosopher with a horse called Binky). His novels defy genre,proving that fantasy can say more about reality than the most heavy-weight of literary tomes.
