Happy Birthday Terry. Born 28th April, 1948. Fitting then, that today is also #TerryPratchettDay.
“It reached the boat. Long clammy fingers grabbed the side, and a lugubrious face rose level with Nanny Ogg’s. ‘’ullo,’ it said. ‘It’sss my birthday.” — Witches Abroad
Also to mark the date, released today: Night Watch in paperback. Now available as part of the distinguished Penguin Modern Classics Collection
