On 27th August 2015, The Shepherd's Crown, the last book Sir Terry Pratchett completed before he died, was published.

To mark the ten year anniversary, we have a message from Rob Wilkins:
It’s been ten years since the publication of The Shepherd’s Crown, the last book Terry Pratchett completed before he died. Once the spine on this one was cracked, there were no more new Pratchetts to look forward to, and I know a lot of Discworld readers who were, understandably, with that sad reality in mind, reluctant to finish - or even start - this one because it felt like the final closing of a door. But I also know that Terry wanted his books to be read and enjoyed far more than he wanted them kept on a shelf. And as time passes it becomes ever more apparent how much the Discworld books reward re-visiting, perpetually revealing something new, literary gems Terry had hidden away for a second or third, or even more, re-read. Every Pratchett is to some degree an unread Pratchett, including the ones you’ve already enjoyed and including The Shepherd’s Crown. So the greatest way to honour Terry’s legacy is to pull that book you’ve been saving off the shelf, make a nice cup of tea and settle down to read the story he wrote for you. Enjoy.

Delightful to see Wordle ending their 2024 by marking our year to come. Coincidence, or a celebration of our luminous friend? (We say the latter.)

Announcing the theme for Terry Pratchett Day 2024: START IN THE WRONG PLACE.

"Don't start in the right place!" they often say of Terry Pratchett's work. So, let's truly embrace the joy and chaos to be found in the many routes through Discworld and beyond.
An illustration of the Discworld as seen from above. A banner across it reads "Start in the Wrong Place." Text underneath reads: Terry Pratchett Day. 28th April 2024.
