Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) was the acclaimed creator of the
globally revered Discworld series. In all, he authored more than
fifty bestselling books, which have sold more than one hundred
million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for
stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes,
including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood by Queen
Elizabeth II for his services to literature in 2009, although he
always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was
to avoid writing any.
Paul Kidby became a freelance illustrator in 1986. Since then he
has worked on projects ranging from computer game packaging to
magazine covers. He began reading the Discworld novels in 1993 and
was immediately inspired. He has produced, with Terry Pratchett and
Stephen Briggs, numerous Discworld items, including Discworld
Diaries, The Discworld Portfolio, cards, book covers, and
calendars. He lives in England.
