His first Discworld book, The Color of Magic, came out in 1983. The stories became his first novel, The Carpet People.
He left school at the age of 17 to write for his local paper, where, among other things, he wrote a series of stories about the tiny people that live in your carpet. Pratchett originally wanted to be a journalist. He allowed them to be fully human, even if they were rocks who walked." "He was just so compassionate, even to the most horrible of his characters. "He really had the gift of making fun of human foolishness without being cruel," says fantasy author Delia Sherman, who has taught college classes on Pratchett's work. How?įew writers were as insightful and just plain good as Pratchett was at winkling out all the secret scraps of human nature and then disguising them as broad comic fantasy.
