Summary:
"Sir Terry Pratchett, creator of the phenomenally successful Discworld series, was one of the world's best-loved and bestselling authors. At the time of his death in 2015 he was working on his greatest story yet - his own. It is the story of a boy who aged six was told by his head teacher that he would never amount to anything and spent the rest of his life proving him wrong. Who walked out on his A levels to become a journalist, encountering some some dead bodies and the idea for his first novel before he reached twenty. Who celebrated his knighthood for services to literature by forging himself a sword. Tragically, Terry ran out of time to complete the memoir he desperately wanted to write. But now, in the only authorized biography, his literary asistant and friend Rob Wilkins picks up where Terry left off, and with the help of friends, family and Pratchett's own unpublished words, tells the full story of an extraordinary life" -- backcover.
