Discworld Monthly - August 2022 - Issue 291

[Table of Contents]
Issue 291

1. Editorial

Welcome to issue 291. Rob Wilkins' long awaited biography Terry Pratchett: A Life With Footnotes* will be released in September. We were lucky to get an advanced copy and I have been busy reading through it. Read all about what I thought of it later in this issue.

* * * * *

Rachel and I are currently getting ready for the International Discworld Convention 2022 that will be held in Birmingham from 19th - 22nd August. We're working out what parts of Llamedos Holiday Camp to bring with us and what I should include in my talk about 25 years of Discworld Monthly.

We are also running the auction. Viewing will be available from 10am Sunday morning with the auction starting at 10:30am as always this promises to be "lots of fun" (sorry auction joke there).

Other than a few other items on the schedule we will mostly be found in the bar area if you want to pop by and say hello.

(Please support Jason by attending his talk. Having been around for 25 years, he has become part of the furniture and often gets overlooked at events. - Rachel.)

* * * * *

Due to the eBook versions of the newsletter not being read we've decided to save ourselves some work each month and no longer produce them.

Jason

Hi all, Rachel here.

First up, on a personal note, thank you to everyone who sent me birthday wishes. It was very much appreciated for lots of reasons. Secondly, to those who knew, we had an amazing time on our road trip to Scotland, taking in such wonders as the Angel of the North, Tantallon Castle, Pandas at Edinburgh Zoo, a roller coaster in Aberdeen, Loch Ness, The Kelpies, the pencil museum (highlight of my trip) and we saw a huge amount of friends along the way.

We must say a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Kerry-Ann and Ken for inviting us to their wedding all the way up in Avoch so we could have an excuse to do this trip. Thank you for inviting us !

Discworld Monthly is becoming more and more like Discworld Quarterly. This is due to a number of reasons, mainly the lack of any real news - we are not back to pre-covid times on stage plays and events just yet. After damaging my leg and now still suffering with low post-covid energy levels, it takes a lot for me to sit and produce the various links and short articles for DWM.

I have been considering going to a social media only format which would restrict what we inform the community about, but we know that many of you still love receiving a full readable newsletter in your inboxes so we are very reluctant to go this route.

I've even contemplated creating an actual full online magazine format, which would be available for free 6 times a year with adverts for Pratchett plays and other events and such because I am far happier producing graphical content than the written word alone.

Whichever way we look at the future of Discworld Monthly, we need you, our readers, to help us out with articles like many of you have done over the last 25 years.

So stop thinking about writing something and just do it !!!

* From: "John Morris" patandjohnmorris@gmail.com

I am looking for a slipcased edition of Sir Terry's Father Christmas. Any advice or where I could look? Amazon, Abebooks, Biblio all no luck, including the Discworld Emporium.

Jason replies: I've performed a quick search and it appears that it has long sold out. Maybe one of our subscribers has a copy they would be willing to part with?

* From: "Dan Smythe" dmsmythe@gmail.com

Reading through the Witches books lately.

In Witches Abroad, had a tough time initially pinning down where Genua was based upon. It bugged me enough to Google it (it became more obvious later in the book).

But then I noticed about two thirds of the way through (page 204 in my Harper US edition Paperback) a reference to German cooks and I wondered how that could exist... a mistake?

It seems obvious that it should have been "The point was that a good Genua cook could more or less take the squeezings of a handful of mud, a few dead leaves... "

Rather than a German cook as it says in my copy.

It would seem rare that a mistake could make it to the paperback edition after the proof editions and the hardback. I wondered if anyone had ever compiled a list of mistakes?

Love the newsletter.

Thanks!

Jason replies: I've taken a look at my UK hardback edition and it definitely says Genua on that line. Rachel's just looked in our ROC US hardback edition and it says Genua in that copy. So the mistake appears to be made when HarperCollins re-type set the paperback edition.

* From: "Laura Sprake" laura_sprake@hotmail.com

I have to say thanks for still taking the time to produce the newsletter, it does make me smile every time I receive it. I was just wondering why you never seem to have The Discworld Emporium in any of the affiliate links for any of the books or anything.

It's not a hugely important question and I have no idea how the whole thing works on your end, so I'm assuming you have a reason, like I said, I was just wondering.

Jason replies: We don't have affiliate links with the Emporium simply because they don't have an affiliate program. We often recommend the Emporium as they are good friends of ours and they make nice items.

* From: "Colin Smythe" cpsmythe@aol.com

I noticed that one of your correspondents was worried about the age of the rescued son of the king [in Wyrd Sisters - Jason]. He thought there was a typo in the pbk, when it stated it looked two years old. He thought it should have been much younger. Yet the Gollancz first edition and the original typescript indicated that it was years - this from the typescript

"Granny shook her head. She sat down on a rock and looked at the child in her arms. It was a boy, no more than two years old, and quite naked under the blanket. She rocked him vaguely and stared at nothing."

Maybe Terry got the child's age wrong, but that's what he typed

Best wishes

Colin

Jason replies: Thanks for clearing that up Colin.

This is my first letter into the magazine as thanks to a friend I've only recently discovered this newsletter. So shout out to the resident fat man and all round decent chap and co-host of the podcast that we are part of Legeon.

We do discuss Pratchett there when time allows and we end up on tangents :)

Thanks for letting me join and be part of this group and fandom. I've been a pratchett fan for longer than I can remember and grew up on the Tony Robbinson audiobooks. I personally always thought it was a shame that he couldn't have narrated the unabridged versions of the Discworld. Anyway I'm very happy that the audiobooks are finally being redone and are completely unabridged with footnotes as intended.

Being blind myself, I love the medium of audio and am an avid reader. This is probably complete heresy to admit but I haven't actually read that many of Sir Terry's books unabridged. So I am greatly looking forward to re-reading them finally in stereo glory.

I was wondering however if anyone knew why the Last Hero has not been given the unabridged remake treatment?

If anyone knows the reason then please feel free to get in touch.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Rachel and Jason for doing a cracking job in regards editing the news letter each month. Keep up the good work and it's probably only a small thing, however I love the fact that each section has its own link within the email and heading. It makes it infinitely easier to navigate with a screen reader.

So thanks for that chaps. Anyway that's all for now i'm off to go bury my ears into the Witches series. Toodles!

I recently shared the Tiffany Aching series with my 12 year old grandniece. She's reading the second book now and loves it. Another fan is growing.

8. Review: Terry Pratchett: A Life With Footnotes*

Written by Rob Wilkins

Review by Jason Anthony-Rowlands

Since it was first announced a few years ago that Rob Wilkins would be writing the official biography of Terry Pratchett, we've been waiting impatiently to read it. In the meantime we've had Marc Burrows' unofficial biography, the Magic of Terry Pratchett. Inevitably people will compare the two biographies but for now I am going to concentrate on A Life With Footnotes in isolation.

Before I opened the book I realised that it might be a difficult read. Purely because I knew there would be bits in it that I didn't want to live through again. What I wasn't expecting was to be hit with the onion fairies in the introduction. Terry wrote a number of letters to various people of importance to him and had them sealed and locked in the safe (not to be opened until after his death). In the introduction Rob includes Terry's letter to him in full. This hit me hard; this was Terry in the raw; effectively talking from beyond the grave. It was a beautifully written and caring letter from Terry written just a few months before he died. This is a powerful way to start.

The book intermixes between later events after Terry's passing and the story of Terry's progress through life. It was fun to read about the opening of the blue plaque at Beaconsfield Library and the mention of fans that came from as far as Leeds and Swansea (That'll be Pat Harkin from Leeds and Rachel and I from Swansea).

I guess I've picked up a lot of Terry's history through talking with Rob and other people in the know over the years and from some of the information that Marc managed to research, so was pleasantly surprised to find much which I hadn't heard before or more detail added to events that I knew a little about.

This is a deeply personal book. You can feel the love that Rob has included in every page. And when we get to the inevitable diagnoses of Terry's PCA and the progression of the disease it makes very harrowing reading. There are of course many moments of levity in there but they only highlight the pain that not only Terry was feeling but that of his family and close friends, and the community as a whole. To hear Rob describing Terry crying because he was unable to make the 2014 Convention is absolutely heartbreaking.

This is a beautiful book and I defy anyone that even remotely knew Terry not to be emotionally moved by it all. I read the latter 30-40 pages through tears, and not just the "I've got something in my eye" type. These were big ugly, salty, globs of tears. Tear for the loss and pain we all felt when Terry passed in 2015 and of empathy for Rob having to put down those feelings into words.

I said I wouldn't be comparing the two biographies but I think having read both I can recommend both of them. Marc's is a really good read, written with a level of separation by a journalist. This book however is written beautifully from the heart. Bless you Rob and thank you for bringing Terry back to life for a little while through your words.

If you have any interest in Terry the person, not the personality, then you must read this biography.

Terry Pratchett: A Life With Footnotes* will be released in the UK on 29th September 2022.

See our Affiliates page to pre-order your copy.

9. Review: Ronald Hutton's talk about Terry at Witchfest

Review by: Steve Mitchell

At the 2022 Witchfest Midlands in Stoke, May 28th, in a change from his advertised 'Historic Perspective on the History of Witchcraft', Professor Ronald Hutton presented a talk on the life and times of Sir Terry Pratchett, augmenting his research into Terry's life, with Terry's unofficial biography and personal anecdotes of Ronald's own meetings with Terry.

He charted Terry's humble beginnings in Beaconsfield as the only child of a mechanic and secretary, through his various jobs in journalism and then the Central Electricity Generating Board to becoming the highest earning UK author by the early age of 48!

In fact, as Ronald told us, Terry had begun writing short stories for the school magazine from the age of 11, got his first story commercially published by the age of 15 and by the age of 17 was writing childrens' stories for The Bucks Free Press and the rest was, as they say, history.

What was of particular interest was Professor Hutton's personal recollections of Sir Terry. It was, for example, well known that Terry could fall out with people at the drop of a hat. Ronald emphasised this with his own story of how he was first contacted by Terry to vouch for a group of pagans who were setting up a trust to look after the Rollright Stones and wanted Terry to be involved. Ronald, knowing of one or two of them, suggested they would be above board and the project would be a good one to champion.

A little while later Ronald was again contacted by Terry, and hoping for the 'friendship' to maybe advance or cement a little further was somewhat dismayed to get an earful from Terry on how wrong he had been about the dynamics and trustworthiness of the group. To top it all Terry vowed never to speak to Ronald again and slammed down the phone.

There it might have ended but on a much later occasion their paths were to cross at a conference at which they were both speaking. Both sharing the same dressing room, Ronald recalled that Terry was an intensely private person. He would often resort to seemingly standard preset answers to hide the truth of matters.

Whether this had, at this moment, anything to do with Ronald's previous encounter with Terry or not, Ronald managed to catch him out. Terry would often discount any connection between himself and pagans or witches, coming up with a standard ruse to say he must have read it somewhere. However, on this occasion as they left for the stage, Ronald subtly dropped into conversation a couple of craft names linked to Terry's supposedly very brief flurry into witchcraft. There was a pause, then a give and finally a twinkle in his eye, letting Ronald know that he'd broken Terry's cover, and then of course, back to normal.

In the course of a tight hour of speaking, Ronald delivered a concise but informative précis of Terry's life and times angled at an audience whose interests not only included paganism and witchcraft but also sci fi and fantasy. It was more than well received and should you get an opportunity on his next outing give Professor Ronald Hutton and his Life and Times of Terry Pratchett some attention.

10.8 The Final Word

Rachel here: We may not be perfect designers, or award winning journalists but we do our best to keep you all entertained and informed about all things Terry. We do have some ethics though.

We like our news to be current, up to date and factual with a solid source. We don't like posting rumours but occasionally the source it comes from is 98 percent solid so we will tell you it's a rumour and confirm it when we have a 100 percent confirmation.

Our own articles are written by us for us only. You won't find articles from other publications here unless it's a formal press release about an adaptation, book release or event or something we actually wrote for someone else unless they begged us to publish it (OK not begged but some of our lovely friends do ask us occasionally to boost something).

[NB I say we are not award winning but Discworld Monthly did win Website of the Month for Issue 3 back in a different century. It would be nice to win something much more recent, or even just get acknowledged #justsaying]

Whilst you keep reading it, we'll keep on writing it because we love Terry's books just as much as you do.

Keep smiling, Keep washing those hands but most of all, Keep breathing.

See you soon!

GNU Terry Pratchett...
