Terry Pratchett

'Look after the dead', said the priests, 'and the dead will look after you'. Wise words in all probability, but a tall order when you have just become the pharaoh of a small and penniless country whose largesse - and indeed treasury - is unlikely to stretch to the building of a monumental pyramid to honour your dead father. And particularly when your only visible means of support is a recently acquired qualification from the Guild of Assassins where running a kingdom and basic financial acumen were not prerequisites for course entry...

Pyramids

In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was: "Hey, you!" For Brutha the novice is the Chosen One. He wants peace and justice and brotherly love. He also wants the Inquisition to stop torturing him now, please...

Small Gods

Why we all deserve a life worth living and a death worth dying for âe~Most men donâe(tm)t fear death. They fear those things âe" the knife, the shipwreck, the illness, the bomb âe" which precede, by microseconds if youâe(tm)re lucky, and many years if youâe(tm)re not, the moment of death.âe(tm) When Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with Alzheimerâe(tm)s in his fifties he was angry - not with death but with the disease that would take him there, and with the suffering disease can cause when we are not allowed to put an end to it. In this essay, broadcast to millions as the BBC Richard Dimblebly Lecture 2010 and previously only available as part of A Slip of the Keyboard, he argues for our right to choose - our right to a good life, and a good death too.

Feet of Clay

'Focus on a planet revolving in space . . . Focus in on a small country in the northern hemisphere - Great Britain. Closer, closer . . . and on the western edge of London you can see the county of Buckinghamshire. Small villages and winding country roads. And if you could go back in time to the mid nineteen-sixties, you might spot a young lad on a motorbike coming down one such lane, notebook and pen in his jacket pocket. This is me. A junior reporter for the Bucks Free Press, where I began writing stories for young readers that were published every week in the newspaper. The stories in this collection are a selection of those. There are wizards and mayors, carpet people and a monster in a lake, along with plenty of pointy hats. And some of these stories even spawned my later novels.' The deluxe slipcase edition is fully illustrated and includes: - Special foreword by Terry Pratchett - Two bonus stories - Critical commentaries to accompany each story - Limited-edition colour print - Additional content
