All the Discworld''s a Stage: Volume 2

About Terry Pratchett

As all children know the way you get into a fantasy world is by accident... You go into the wardrobe looking for somewhere to hide and - bingo. And that''s how Stephen Briggs found Discworld. In 1990 he wrote to ask Terry if he could stage Wyrd Sisters. That was the first time anyone anywhere in the world had dramatised Terry''s work. He had no idea it would go any further than one play (possibly two). But it did. So far he has now adapted staged and published twenty-two plays. He and Terry also worked together to produce the original Discworld Maps and Diaries Nanny Ogg''s Cookbook The Discworld Companion (now called Turtle Recall) and The Wit & Wisdom of Discworld. Sir Terry Pratchett is the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series the first of which The Colour of Magic was published in 1983. In all he is the author of fifty bestselling books. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen and he is the winner of multiple prizes including the Carnegie Medal as well as being awarded a knighthood for services to literature. Worldwide sales of his books now stand at 70 million and they have been translated into thirty-seven languages.
