PRATCHETT WROTE THE FIRST FOUR INSTALLMENTS WHILE WORKING AS A SPOKESMAN FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS. Here are 10 things they won’t teach you at Unseen University. Set on a magical, disc-shaped world supported by four elephants who in turn ride atop a gigantic turtle, these masterworks of comic fantasy have collectively sold more than 80 million copies worldwide.
His debut novel, The Carpet People-a slightly-altered version of a fantasy serial Pratchett wrote while working at his local paper, the Bucks Free Press-was published in 1971, followed by the bestselling Discworld series. Pratchett, who was born in Buckinghamshire on April 28, 1948, wrote or co-wrote more than 70 books during his lifetime.
Just two writers had five works that cracked the top 100: Charles Dickens and the late Sir Terry Pratchett. In 2003, the BBC asked 140,000 Britons to come up with the nation’s top 100 novels.
