Rob Wilkins Książki

"People think that stories are shaped by people. In fact, it's the other way around." Terry Pratchett, the beloved creator of the Discworld series, was renowned for his bestselling books, sharp wit, and humanity in his advocacy work. However, there is more to his legacy. At the time of his death in 2015, he was crafting his most personal story yet—his own. This narrative follows a boy who, told by his headteacher at six that he would never succeed, dedicated his life to proving that wrong. He left school to pursue journalism, encountering the macabre and sparking ideas for his first novel before turning twenty. Celebrating his knighthood, he forged a sword, and when awarded the Carnegie Medal, he cheekily swapped it for a chocolate replica, devouring it in front of astonished librarians. Sadly, Terry ran out of time to finish the memoir he longed to write. In this authorized biography, his manager and friend Rob Wilkins, with insights from friends, family, and Terry's unpublished works, reveals the full story of an extraordinary life.
