Terry Pratchett is one of the most popular authors writing today. He
lives behind a keyboard in Wiltshire and says he 'doesn't want to get a
life, because it feels as though he's trying to lead three already'. He
was appointed OBE in 1998. He is the author of the phenomenally
successful Discworld series and his trilogy for young readers, The
Bromeliad, is scheduled to be adapted into a spectacular animated movie.
His first Discworld novel for children, THE AMAZING MAURICE AND HIS
EDUCATED RODENTS, was awarded the 2001 Carnegie Medal.
