When Terry Pratchett died in 2015, we thought we’d never again get another story from the Discworld creator. But there were secrets to be unearthed.
Well if it's a million-to-one chance, it's basically guaranteed to happen.
The discovery of 20 previously forgotten Terry Pratchett stories was, of course, a huge deal. And, excitingly, enough for a book. It was time to call in the author’s literary estate.
“I was shocked! Amazed and delighted!” says Rob Wilkins, the man often described as ‘Terry Pratchett’s Representative on Earth’, as well as his former PA, business manager and the day-to-day caretaker of his Earthly affairs. “Genuinely, I didn’t think there were any more stories to be found.”
Didn't Pratchett want his unfinished works destroyed? Or am I confusing him with somebody else?
These are finished works that he published under a pseudonym
Pretty neat story, I hope to read these one day!
