Terry Pratchett (Author)
Sir Terry Pratchett is a publishing phenomenon. Among his many
prizes and citations are the World Fantasy Life Achievement Award,
the Carnegie Medal, the BSFA Award, eight honorary doctorates and,
of course, a knighthood. In 2012, he won a BAFTA for his
documentary on the subject of assisted suicide, 'Terry Pratchett:
Choosing to Die'. He is the author of fifty bestselling books but
is best known for the globally renowned Discworld series.
The first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic, was published in
1983, and the series is still going strong almost three decades
later. Four Discworld novels - Hogfather, Going Postal, The Colour
of Magic and The Light Fantastic - have been adapted for
television, with more to follow. His books have sold approximately
85 million copies worldwide (but who's counting?), and been
translated into forty languages.
In 2007, Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's
Disease. He died in 2015.
Paul Kidby (Illustrator)
Paul Kidby discovered Terry Pratchett's Discworld in 1993 and since
then has devoted his working life to the place. He is the
illustrator of THE PRATCHETT PORTFOLIO, TERRY PRATCHETT'S DISCWORLD
COLOURING BOOK, the bestsellers THE LAST HERO and THE ART OF
DISCWORLD, as well as the Discworld DIARIES, cards, T-shirts, maps,
mugs and, of course, the covers.
