The Discworld is, as everyone knows, and no one should now need to be told, flat. It rides through space on the back of four elephants* which, in turn, are standing on the shell of an enormous turtle. But just because it is being borne through space on the back of a turtle, doesn't mean it doesn't need gods . . . The Gods Trilogy is a bumper volume containing the complete text of three of Terry Pratchett's celebrated novels: SMALL GODS Brutha is the Chosen One. His god has spoken to him, admittedly while currently in the shape of a tortoise; and Brutha now has a mission. PYRAMIDS It isn't easy, being a teenage pharaoh: you're not allowed to carry money; uninhibited young women peel grapes for you and the Great Pyramid has just exploded because of paracosmic instability . . . HOGFATHER It's the night before Hogswatch . . . and it's too quiet. There's snow, there're robins, there're trees covered with decorations, but there's a notable lack of the big fat man who delivers the toys . . . He's gone. *There used to be five, but that's another story entirely.
Terry Pratchett sold his first short story, The Hades Business, at the tender age of 13 and bought a typewriter with the proceeds. His first novel, The Carpet People, was published when he was 23 and he continued to write in his spare time while working on local newspapers.
Oddly in his thirties he left journalism, and spent the next eight years as a press officer for the Central Electricity Generating Board. And then in 1983 The Colour of Magic, the first Discworld novel, was published and the rest is - as they say - history.
In 1987 Terry realised that writing was his future and he gave up his job. These days, he lives behind a keyboard in Wiltshire and says he 'doesn't want to get a life, because it feels as though he is trying to lead three already'. He is passionate about orang-utans but doesn't give a monkey's about anything else.
As well as being awarded an OBE in 1998 and an honorary Doctorate of Literature from Warwick University in 1999, he is one of the most popular authors writing today. He has sold more than 45 million books and his work has been translated into 27 languages.
Pyramids
Another timely classic satire on our world! This time the subject is government and the powers behind them. Teppic has been trained in the highly valued skill of assasination, and he will need every bit of that skill to survive leading his kingdom out of the dark grasp of .... Teppic is part hero part accident and all lovable. But I should warn you, silence will never be the same after you read this book.--Barnes and Noble
Small Gods
Surely the best novel Terry Pratchett has ever written, and the best comedy -- John Clute, Interzone
Hogfather
Has the energy of The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy and the inventiveness of Alice in Wonderland...It has also an intelligent wit and a truly original grim and comic grasp of the nature of things.--A.S. Byatt, Sunday Times
