Description

From one of the bestselling science fiction and fantasy authors and most beloved storytellers of all time comes this unmissable collection which brings together the best of Pratchett's non fiction writing

With a foreword by Neil Gaiman

'Bright, funny, insightful, warm... a man who truly knew how to enjoy life... and books' George R.R. Martin

Terry Pratchett earned a place in the hearts of readers the world over with his bestselling Discworld series - but in recent years he became equally well-known as an outspoken campaigner for causes including Alzheimer's research and animal rights. A Slip of the Keyboard brings together the best of Pratchett's non fiction writing on his life, on his work, and on the weirdness of the world: from Granny Pratchett to Gandalf's love life; from banana daiquiris to books that inspired him; from getting started as a writer to the injustices that he fought to end.

With his trademark humour, humanity and unforgettable way with words, this collection offers an insight behind the scenes of Discworld into a much loved and much missed figure - man and boy, bibliophile and computer geek, champion of hats, orang-utans and the right to a good death.

Praise for A Slip of the Keyboard:
'An inspiration' Telegraph
'Wise and funny... my unlikely hero' A.S. Byatt
'Acerbic, skewerer of all pomposity and hilarious to boot' Guardian
'Seriously funny about the weirdness of the world and humorously serious about the NHS, assisted dying and his urgent personal campaign for more research into Alzheimer's disease' Times
'A wonderful collection... [Pratchett] emerges as, yes, likeable but also complex and angry' Independent
