PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Terry Pratchett is the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he is the author of over fifty bestselling books. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he is the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal, as well as being awarded a knighthood for services to literature. After falling out with his keyboard, he now talks to his computer. Occasionally, these days, it answers back. www.terrrypratchett.co.uk @terryandrob
"Imaginative, witty and consistent - as in consistently funny, consistently clever and consistently surprising in its twists and turnss - Thud! is everything that the 30th novel in a fantasy sequence ought to be, and more. * SFX magazine * Pratchett too requires us to think. Whenever I read his stories I find myself thinking that he is ""grown up"". He may write benign comedy but he knows how horribly complicated and exciting the Universe is. * A.S. Byatt, The Times * 'Thud! has a serious theme: racial intolerance. That Pratchett can explore this while still making us laugh is a tribute to the integrity of his created world ...' * Scotland on Sunday *"
