‘Holy Wood is a different sort of place. People act differently here. Everywhere else the most important things are gods or money or cattle. Here, the most important thing is to be important.’

As the 28th April was Terry Pratchett’s birthday, we want to reclaim the day for him and we hope you’ll join us! We’d like to make Terry Pratchett Day a time to remember and celebrate the author who ignited our imaginations and made us all laugh so much…

“I am never not reading a Terry Pratchett book. I’ve developed the habit of finishing one and then reading the first few pages of the next one. That way, I always know whatever happens in life, I have a Terry Pratchett book on the go and ergo, nothing can be too bad.”
