A beautifully illustrated hardback giving insight into the inspirations behind fantasy author Terry Pratchett's beloved Discworld series and the creative collaboration between Pratchett and his 'artist of choice' Paul Kidby.

Go behind the scenes of the iconic Discworld series with this beautiful, illustrated hardback, the perfect gift book for any fantasy fan this holiday season.

'It's still magic, even if you know how it's done' SIR TERRY PRATCHETT

Sir Terry Pratchett was one of the world's best-loved and bestselling fantasy writers, author of the iconic Discworld series. Now, for the first time, go behind the scenes of the incredible partnership between Pratchett and his 'artist of choice', Paul Kidby.

This stunning new book shows how the Discworld was brought to visual life - from the earliest sketches to the final magnificent masterpieces - and how Terry and Paul absorbed influences from art and pop culture, fusing them into the Discworld landscape.

Whilst Terry was the undisputed creative fountainhead, for three decades Paul has been the artistic force taking the people, places and piece of man-eating luggage from Terry's ever-fertile imagination right into our world.

And, in a special final chapter, Designing Terry Pratchett's Discworld also outlines the images that we never got to see - the early covers of the great unwritten novels, taken from the world before their time.

Packed full of hitherto unseen art and the real stories behind it, this is a unique insight into one of the greatest literary partnerships.

'Paul Kidby has enriched us Discworld readers by visualizing the landscapes of our imagination . . . he has paved roads that allow us to walk throughout Discworld' from the Foreword by Colin Morgan
