Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett has been writing fantasy fiction since his first book, The Carpet People, was published when he was 17. His Discworld novels continue to make the bestseller lists, a new one coming out approximately every six months. He describes his work as "the antidote to fantasy". They offer a comical take on both the conventions of the fantasy genre, and on our own world.

Terry Pratchett's major characters

Death

He carries a scythe, rides a white horse called Binky, and talks in ALL CAPITALS. Death is one of Pratchett's most amusing characters, not least because of his attitude to his job.

Granny Weatherwax

There are a lot of witches in the Discworld novels, but Granny Weatherwax is the witch. Older, wiser and more formidable than all the others, she doesn't hold with too much showiness.

Rincewind

Rincewind is a cowardly and inept wizard who always seems to be running from trouble. He's often found with The Luggage, a sort of sentient traveller's case which has adopted him.

Ankh-Morpork

Not a person, but the city of Ankh-Morpork is a character in it's own right. It's dangerous and crowded, filled with people of all races who are often to be found fighting each other. Oozing through it is the river Ankh, as thick as treacle but almost certainly fatal to drink.
