It was nice to solidify the vague, murky appearances of the characters from my imagination. Paul Kidby really renders the Discworld universe faithfully in his captivating illustrations. There's also a fair bit of information in here. Sort of a "who's who" of the Discworld. It's nice to go through and flesh out the backstories of some of the characters. no reviews | add a review

In THE ART OF DISCWORLD, Terry Pratchett takes us on a guided tour of the Discworld, courtesy of his favourite Discworld artist, Paul Kidby. Following on from THE LAST HERO, THE ART OF DISCWORLD is a lavish 112-page large format, sumptuously illustrated look at all things Discworldian. Terry Pratchett provides the written descriptions while Paul Kidby illustrates the world that has made Pratchett one of the best-selling authors of all time. Here you will find favourites old and new: the City Watch, including Vimes, Carrot and Angua, the three witches - Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick - and the denizens of the Unseen University Library, not forgetting the Librarian, of course: they're all here in sumptuous colour, together with the places: Ankh-Morpork, Lancre, Uberwald and more . . . No Discworld fan will want to be without this beautiful gift book. No library descriptions found. |
