Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.

Terry Pratchett, Author for Discworld Series, Johnny Maxwell Trilogy, Bromeliad Trilogy and many others.

Born in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, Pratchett left school in 1965 to begin work as a journalist. His first novel, The Carpet People, was published in 1971, followed by The Dark Side of the Sun (1976) and Strata (1981). His comic fantasies set on Discworld, cleverly subverting the clichés of genre fantasy and other kinds of imaginative fiction, began with The Colour of Magic (1983), achieved bestseller status with Mort (1987), and rapidly extended at the rate of two a year to Night Watch (2002) and Monstrous Regiment (2003). They are enormously popular with teenagers, and much of Pratchett's other work is aimed specifically at a younger audience.
