One of the most interesting and critically underrated novelists we have . . . The Folklore of Discworld - co-authored with the eminent folklorist Jacqueline Simpson - emphasises his irreverence and drollery.
The Times
Pratchett is, like Mark Twain, or Jonathan Swift, not just a great writer but also an original thinker . . . funny, exciting, lighthearted and, like all the best comedy, very serious.
Guardian
Simpson provides depth to the real-world analogues of the Discworold characters, and the text becomes a neatly integrated discussion of folklore, belief systems and the like in both worlds...well written and will raise a smile...a fine Hogswatch present.
