Updated with new material, including notes on the newest Discworld novel RAISING STEAM
Terry Pratchett, the creator of the bestselling series, teams up with a British folklore scholar to produce this guide to the folklore of Discworld, and how it connects to our own world.
Legends, myths, fairy tales, and superstitions: Our world is made up of stories we tell ourselves about why things happen and how they came to be. It is the same on Discworld, except that beings and stories on Earth who are all imaginary--vampires, trolls, giants, witches, and--possibly--gods, are utterly real and living their lives like anyone else on the Disc. An invaluable reference resource for Discworld fans, and a fascinating read for anyone interested in British folklore history. Through the lens of Terry Pratchett's fictional universe, Jacqueline Simpson offers an illuminating perspective on the purpose that traditions and stories serve in our lives.
