Celebrate The Discworld Bestiary at Waterstones Piccadilly

Join us to celebrate The Discworld Bestiary with illustrator Paul Kidby and Rob Wilkins, director of the Terry Pratchett estate. We’re delighted to host an evening to celebrate Terry Pratchett’s, The Discworld Bestiary with illustrator Paul Kidby & Rob Wilkins, director of the Terry Pratchett estate. The pair will be in conversation with journalist and author Kat Brown. An absolute must for all fans of Terry Pratchett's iconic Discworld series, this beautiful book is a fully realised guide to Sir Terry Pratchett’s world. The bestiary is full of the creatures and critters of Discworld, packed with wisdom from the great minds of the Disc, as well as interjections from some of its more unconventional thinkers. All of this, of course, has been illustrated by Paul Kidby, long-time collaborator of the Pratchett estate. Paul Kidby worked as a commercial artist before becoming a freelance illustrator in 1996. In the late ’80s and early ’90s Paul created hundreds of designs for video game packaging and magazine covers, including iconic pieces such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Mortal Kombat, Batman, and Earthworm Jim. Paul is best known for being the illustrator for award-winning author Sir Terry Pratchett and has designed the Discworld book jackets since 2002. Rob Wilkins worked with Terry Pratchett for more than twenty years, first as his personal assistant and later as his business manager. He now manages the Pratchett literary estate and Terry's production company, Narrativia. Please note: Book and ticket option includes a copy of The Discworld Bestiary (RRP. £30) which will be available for collection on the night.
