Terry Pratchett: A Life With Footnotes

Always readable, illuminating and honest. It made me miss the real Terry. * Neil Gaiman *
Heart breaking and funny … sometimes joyfully, sometimes painfully, intimate … it is wonderful to have this closeup picture of the writer’s working life. – Frank Cottrell-Boyce * Observer *
The joy of this biography … is that it spins magic from mundanity in precisely the way Pratchett himself did. * The Telegraph *
No one, after Pratchett’s wife, Lyn, and daughter, Rhianna, knew the author as well as Wilkins. I wept through the last 20 pages - beautifully done - charting Pratchett’s decline in a way that is both sensitive and unsparing. * The Times *
Fond, funny and conveys a pitch-perfect sense of how Pratchett managed to take the elements of his 1950s working-class childhood … and turn it into a universe of limitless richness and invention. * Mail on Sunday *

Rob Wilkins worked with Terry Pratchett for more than twenty years, first as his personal assistant and later as his business manager. He now manages the Pratchett literary estate and Terry’s production company, Narrativia.
