books by Terry Pratchett     books:       The Folklore of Discworld4 reviews Terry Pratchett, Jacqueline Simpson Doubleday UK, 2008 Nineteen versions?? Folklore, ancient or modern, is one of the major foundation stones of the Discworld books. Human nature being another, one assumes. Discworld folklore is a trivia test among Discworld fans who will slyly ask one another [generally over a pint], if they can identify the origins of a certain figure or idea. With some slight discrepancies between UK and North American versions, such exchanges can ...             The Bromeliad Trilogy: Truckers18 reviews Terry Pratchett HarperCollins, 2004 A must-read, action-packed and hilarious fairy-tale Now it has taken long enough. Masklin, a four-inch-tall nome, has enough of dragging big rats and other garbage to his home. Not that he doesn't like doing these chores. It's just that he's the only one left performing them. Apart from Grimma, a young female nome, and a few older folks all others have died or disappeared. It's time to go on a quest for other tribes. But the big question is: how ...             The Illustrated Wee Free Men (Discworld Novels)8 reviews Terry Pratchett Doubleday UK, 2008 A humorous fairy tale for youth and adult readers The Illustrated Wee Free Men is a fanciful fairy tale told with an enormous amount of wit and humor. This is the newest version of Pratchett's Discworld story. The original was released as a novel geared for youth, though it is sure to be enjoyed by readers of all ages. Nine-year-old Tiffany Aching is growing up on a sheep and dairy farm and longs for a bit of magic in her life. Unlike the ...             WINGS (THE NOME TRILOGY)21 reviews TERRY PRATCHETT CORGI CHILDRENS, 1991 A triumph for nome-kind! In Diggers, the nomes living in a quarry found themselves besieged by humans. In the end, Masklin rescued them with nothing short of a miracle. This book is the story of that miracle. This book is so funny that I often found myself laughing out loud while reading it. Not only that, the action is gripping, and the ending is touching. This book is a wonderful buy.             The Johnny Maxwell Trilogy3 reviews Terry Pratchett SFBC SCIENCE FICTION, 1996 Find this and read it quick I admit it's a guilty pleasure, finding it in the Young Adult section of the library. I'm sure they'd be interested in some of the language, in the back room at the Central Branch, but never mind -- excellent read. TP seems to falter slightly with the first novel (ONLY YOU CAN SAVE THE WORLD) but persevere! He hits his stride with JOHNNY AND THE DEAD, and is a bit too complex for his own good ...             The Bromeliad Trilogy : Truckers, Diggers, and Wings28 reviews Terry Pratchett HarperCollins, 2003 love pratchett I love pratchett. Just love him. His books are quite funny and a little bit smart arsy.             The Bromeliad (Truckers Omnibus Edition)6 reviews Terry Pratchett Corgi, 2008 not another discworld novel Thank god. I started reading Pratchett when I was younger, and I loved it. Now I'm not sure if the discworld series is loosing it's edge, or maybe I'm just growing out of it, but with every new discworld book, I become increasingly disillusioned with the whole thing. The style, for me,(and I'm sure for old tezza himself) is just getting a bit tired. Not so with the nomes trilogy. It's a ...             Truckers18 reviews Terry Pratchett ISIS Audio Books, 2010 A must-read, action-packed and hilarious fairy-tale Now it has taken long enough. Masklin, a four-inch-tall nome, has enough of dragging big rats and other garbage to his home. Not that he doesn't like doing these chores. It's just that he's the only one left performing them. Apart from Grimma, a young female nome, and a few older folks all others have died or disappeared. It's time to go on a quest for other tribes. But the big question is: how ...             The Art of Discworld13 reviews Terry Pratchett, Paul Kidby Harper Paperbacks, 2006 If you have read more than five of the books, you really should get this!! This book is a collection of Artist Paul Kidby's illustrations of the various characters in Terry Pratchett' Discworld. And boy howdy, what a good job he does.

There are also new racial packages ...             Sourcery59 reviews Terry Pratchett New American Library, 1989 One of my favorite Discworld books One of the great things about the Discworld novels at this point in the series (SOURCERY is the fifth book) is that the increasingly rich group of supporting characters that populate Terry Pratchett's insane universe make good stories even better. Rincewind is the main character in three of the first five novels (as well as making a brief appearance in MORT). He would not continue to be the ...             The Truth 25th Discworld Novel2 reviews Terry Pratchett No Publisher, 2001 The Vampires' Temperance Union When dwarves smuggle a printing press into Ankh-Morpork, the citizens don't know what to make of it at first.

There's pleasure gained by arbitrary random choices as well as with following cross-references to see where they lead. One thing is certain about this collection, you won't be ...             Lu-Tze's Yearbook of Enlightenment (GollanczF.)3 reviews Stephen Briggs, Terry Pratchett Gollancz, 2007 A great addition to your Terry Pratchett collection!
