The Art of Discworld
The Discworld: a world bursting with magic, a land of contrasts and extremes that floats through space on the backs of four elephants standing on a giant turtle. In the bustling metropolis of Ankh-Morpork, the oldest city on the Disc, you can find every luxury and perversion known to man or dwarf and a lair few yet to be properly invented; in the ancient empire of Klatch there are fifteen words for assassination. The kingdom of Lancre may be small, but in this case size definitely isn’t everything; in the dark country of Uberwald, things do go bump in the night.
The inhabitants of Discworld are even more unforgettable than the places. There are witches and wizards - Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick (now a Queen, of course), and those in training (willingly or otherwise): Agnes Nitt,Tiffany Aching; Archchancellor Mustrum Ridcully, the Librarian, Rincewind, the Bursar: all play their part.
There are great heroes, like Cohen the Barbarian and his Silver Horde, Sam Vimes, Captain Carrot and the men* of the City Watch ... and there are the ordinary folk like Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler, Foul Ole Ron, the Igors. And there’s Death, and his increasingly extended family.
The Discworld might have started out in the imagination of its Creator, Terry Pratchett, but over the past 30 or more books, it has taken on a life of its own. Here, artist Paul Kidbv, steered by the author’s words, takes his own voyage through the Disc, revealing, in glorious colour and intricate black and white, the cornucopia of characters that have won the hearts of millions of adoring readers the world over: Here is The Art of Discworld.
`A very handsome book ... Pratchett’s insider ‘gossip’ about characters coupled with Kidby’s line drawings gives considerable insight into the collaborative process between writer and artist’ Locus

Monstrous Regiment
It began as a sudden strange fancy ...
Polly Perks had to become a boy in a hurry. Cutting off her hair and wearing trousers was easy. Learning to fart and belch in public and walk like an ape took more time ...
And now she’s enlisted in the army, and is searching for her lost brother. But there’s a war on. There’s always a war on. And Polly and her fellow recruits are suddenly in the thick of it, without any training, and the enemy is hunting them.
All they have on their side is the most artful sergeant in the army and a vampire with a lust for coffee. Well ... they have the Secret. And as they take the war to the heart of the enemy, they have to use all the resources of ... the Monstrous Regiment.

The New Discworld Companion
with Stephen Briggs
The fully revised and updated reference book to all things Discworldian
The Discworld started out as fantasy, but now it’s all real. The seasoned Discworld traveller knows exactly how to get from Madams’ Gardens to the Mended Drum (left up Easy Street, right onto Welcome Soap, fork left onto Filigree Street and the Drum is on the left, just opposite the Short Street turn). Travelling around a world so well-defined, but dangerous, without a guide, could be a very courageous choice.
Since the last revision to The Discworld® Companion, new areas of the Disc have been explored, new characters discovered. We’ve trembled under the chandelier at the Ankh-Morpork Opera House, we’ve flown with vampyres over the mysterious country of Uberwald, we’ve sliced through time with the History Monks and we’ve marvelled at Mr Winder’s humorously shaped vegetables.
Stephen Briggs is the Discworld’s cartographer, historian and herald. It’s rumoured that in certain specialised but nevertheless legal areas he knows even more about the Discworld than Terry Pratchett. Together they have produced a new, revised edition of their best-selling guide to the world’s most famous fictional world: its flora and fauna, its outstanding personalities, its customs, its institutions.
Comes complete with illustrations and highlights of Discworld heraldry.
`The Discworld is more complicated and satisfactory than Oz. It has an intelligent wit and truly original grim and comic grasp of the nature of things.’. A. S. Byatt
