![]() ![]() Pratchett was diagnosed with a rare form of Alzheimer’s in 2007, but he continued to work as the disease progressed, using voice recognition software when he could no longer type. Pratchett’s sprawling Discworld series has enchanted readers all over the planet and spawned a cottage industry of supplemental material, from frameable maps to cookbooks. Pratchett’s debut was a low-key affair-the book launch was held in the carpet department of a London furniture store-but he would go on to become one of the world’s most beloved authors, writing or co-writing more than 70 books for readers of all ages. It’s been 50 years since Terry Pratchett’s first novel, The Carpet People, quietly hit UK bookstores in November 1971.
