Description
The greatest British fantasy series by a living author who doesn’t go by initials is Terry Pratchett’s Discworld. From humble beginnings as a Sword & Sorcery parody to more than 30 volumes of wit, wisdom and whimsy, the Discworld series has become a phenomenon unlike any other. In The Turtle Moves!, Lawrence Watt Evans presents a story-by-story history of Discworld’s evolution as well as a look at How It All Works and What It All Means.
Part breezy reference guide, part droll commentary, The Turtle Moves! will enlighten and entertain every Pratchett reader, from the casual browser to the most devout of Discworld’s fans.
