TERRY PRATCHETT - FINAL BOOK

Terry Pratchett's last book is being published by the newly combined Penguin Random House in late September.  The title The Shepherd's Crown is the final in his popular fictional realm of Discworld.  Terry published 70 novels from 1971 and 40 of them were set in Discworld, he sold 85 million books worldwide and they were translated into 37 languages.  

His friend and collaborator Neil Gaiman said: “Here’s somebody who’s fought to be taken seriously and to make people realise that you can write a serious novel, set in a fantasy context, on a flat world on the back of elephants on the back of a giant turtle floating through space and it can still be a real novel. And he’s got there.”  

He certainly did 'get there'...............
