Further Information
About the Author
Bio
Author Picture
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.
Synopsis of this title
Moist von Lipwig was a con artist and a fraud and a man faced with a life choice: be hanged, or put Ankh-Morpork's ailing postal service back on its feet.It was a tough decision.
But he's got to see that the mail gets though, come rain, hail, sleet, dogs, the Post Office Workers Friendly and Benevolent Society, the evil chairman of the Grand Trunk Semaphore Company, and a midnight killer.
Getting a date with Adora Bell Dearheart would be nice, too.
Maybe it'll take a criminal to succeed where honest men have failed, or maybe it's a death sentence either way.
Or perhaps there' s a shot at redemption in the mad world of the mail, waiting for a man who's prepared to push the envelope…
