The slides then moved to showing pages from his latest book “Designing Terry Pratchett’s Discworld” and Paul talked about how he came to work with Terry.

Night Watch will become a penguin classic in April.

The Penguin Classics series includes the best of world literature, across genres, countries and centuries. Terry Pratchett joins a long and illustrious line of literature's greats – a hugely welcome acknowledgement of the brilliance of Sir Terry's literary canon.

A Blink of the Screen will be re-released on 3rd April 2025 with a new cover to match style of A Stroke of the Pen.
