The Spirit of Fantasy
3rd October 2011, £17.99 hardback
Terry Pratchett is one of the most loved writers in the world. With worldwide sales of over 65 million copies in 37 languages, his novels are eagerly awaited by his legions of fans year after year. His first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic, was released in 1983 and ever since then the series, with its whimsical heroes and fiendish foes, has delighted both young and old alike.
In 2007 Pratchett announced that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. He has courageously faced the disease head-on, equalling the determination of his characters in his vivid and satirical novels.
In Terry Pratchett – The Spirit of Fantasy, Craig Cabell examines his extraordinary life, showcased against the backdrop of his irreverent works.
With 2011 the 40th anniversary year of his first novel, The Carpet People, this is a fitting time to pay tribute to the author’s artistic achievements and celebrate one of Britain’s true national treasures. Featuring an in-depth look at the man and his work, as well as on-screen adaptations and a complete UK bibliography and collector’s guide, this is essential reading for any fan.
About the author
Craig Cabell is the author of 17 books including Ian Rankin and Inspector Rebus, The Doctors – Who’s Who and the acclaimed Operation Big Ben – the Anti-V2 Spitfire Mission 1944-45 with Graham Thomas

"After numerous enquiries I would like to make it clear that although I am indeed working on my autobiography, the book 'Terry Pratchett - The Spirit of Fantasy' is not officially authorised in any way. The writing of my personal account of my life is well under way, including all the saucy bits and lies I can now tell because the people who know otherwise are now dead
Further more, just to clarify, due to our punishing writing schedule neither Rob or myself will be attending the Irish Discworld Convention this year."
