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
Up on the chalk downs they call The Wold, witches are banned - ever since the Baron's son vanished in the woods. Anyway, as all witches know, chalk's no good for magic. Nine-year-old Tiffany Aching thinks her Granny Aching - a wise shepherd - might have been a witch, but now Granny Aching is dead and it's up to Tiffany to work it all out when strange things begin happening: a fairy-tale monster in the stream, a headless horseman and, strangest of all, the tiny blue men in kilts, the Wee Free Men, who have come looking for the new 'hag'. These are the Nac Mac Feegles, the pictsles, who like nothing better than thievin', fightin' and drinkin'. Then Tiffany's young brother goes missing and Tiffany and the Wee Free Men must join forces to save him from the Queen of the Fairies-
