awarded the 2001 Carnegie Medal.

'Funny, wise and mock heroic with a tongue-in-cheek Technicolour
certainty'

'Like Jonathan Swift, Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a
distorting mirror to our own, and like Swift he is a satirist of
enormous talent ... incredibly funny ... compulsively readable'
*The Times*
'His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of
the perennial joys of modern fiction'
*Mail on Sunday*
'The great Terry Pratchett, whose wit is metaphysical, who creates
an energetic and lively secondary world, who has a multifarious
genius for strong parody ... who deals with death with startling
originality. Who writes amazing sentences'
