Sir Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) was a British author and journalist who is best known for his fantasy and science fiction novels. Forty-one of his novels are set in the fantasy world of Discworld.[1] He is also known for co-writing Good Omens with Neil Gaiman. Pratchett had his first story published when he was fourteen years old, and continued writing until he died at age 66 from a rare form of Alzheimer's disease.[2]

Pratchett earned countless awards for his writing, including the Carnegie Medal, Best SF/Fantasy Author award, Services to Bookselling award, Kate Wilhelm Solstice Award, and multiple Honorary Doctorates. He was also appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1998 and knighted for his contributions to literature in 2009.[1]

Several of Pratchett's novels have been adapted into television shows, such as Good Omens and The Watch, and films, such as The Amazing Maurice and The Abominable Snow Baby.
