An amazing man

An amazing talent

That created a fantasy universe

That was so different to ours

But also the same

A universe that spoke to so many

About so much

An universe that taught so much

And touched so many lives

If you haven’t found The Discworld

Give it a go

It may not be your thing

But it might speak to you

In ways you can’t imagine

And no matter how many times

I reread his books

Terry Pratchett’s fantasy universe

Keeps on giving

It speaks to children at their level

And adults at their level

Which is a pretty rare talent!

These quotes are just a random selection

From a library of 1000’s

Hopefully some of them will speak to you

Or make you think about

Or question

The world around you

Some may mean nothing

Maybe some will resonate deeply

But I hope at the very least

They’ve kept you entertained

And taken you to a place

Of magic

Wonder

And inspiration

I filled my childhood with his books. I felt like I learned a lot about him through his characters and worlds. I miss him.

I’ve read the Tiffany Aching series to my 8 yrs old niece... she may not understand the themes and the symbology, but she loves the story!

Like all the best books, they can be read on many levels. This is only possible with other books if you use an elevator
