Author Biography
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 thirty-seven
languages. In 2007, Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with early onset
Alzheimer's Disease. He died in 2015.
