Creator of THE HOGFATHER and Discworld novels, Terry Pratchett is one of the funniest and most popular authors writing today.

Terry sold his first short story at the tender age of 13 and bought a typewriter with the money. His first novel, THE CARPET PEOPLE, was published when he was 23. In 1983 THE COLOUR OF MAGIC, the first Discworld novel, was published and the rest, as they say, is history.

He lives behind a keyboard in Wiltshire and says he 'doesn't want to get a life, because it feels like he's trying to lead three already.' He is passionate about orangutans but doesn't give a monkey's about anything else.

He was awarded an OBE in 1998 and has sold more than 45 million books worldwide. His books have been translated into 27 languages.
