Terry Pratchett, a beloved British author with over 75 million books sold, is known for his comic fantasy series, Discworld. As the 10th anniversary of his passing approaches, biographer Marc Burrows has created a guide to Pratchett's work. While fans debate the best starting point, Burrows suggests that most of Pratchett's novels are suitable for new readers. He highlights 'Feet of Clay' as an excellent entry, showcasing mystery and social commentary, and 'Witches Abroad' for its clever parodies and memorable older characters, asserting that stories shape lives rather than the reverse.
A good entry point to Terry Pratchett's work would be 'Feet of Clay,' a proper police procedural with great mystery and reflections on prejudice and class.
'Witches Abroad' demonstrates Pratchett's skill at parody while featuring older women in literature, especially through characters like Nanny Ogg who provides comic relief.
