An all-new illustrated guide to the creatures of Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld. Illustrated by Paul Kidby

Step onto the Disc and meet its extraordinary inhabitants in this delightful, beast-filled companion to Sir Terry Pratchett’s beloved fantasy series.

Published in partnership with the Terry Pratchett Estate, The Discworld Bestiary brings to life the myriad strange and marvellous creatures that inhabit Terry’s Discworld. From the horrifying yet remarkably laid-back Terrible Man-Eating Sloth of Clup, to the entirely theoretical dining preferences of the Ambiguous Puzuma, and the surprising cosmic importance of ominous ducks, this book wriggles with humour, crawls with wisdom and bursts with imagination.

Even the most obscure beasts make an appearance, including the notorious Stealer of Pencils and the ‘moderately deadly’ .303 Bookworm. Paul Kidby, long hailed as Terry Pratchett’s artist of choice, has created stunning, brand-new, full-colour artwork throughout, capturing everything from the majestic to the ridiculous, the cute to the downright terrifying.

Adding extra delight, the book features reluctant commentary and sage (if slightly panicked) advice from Rincewind, the wizard-hero of The Colour of Magic and the Wizards series.

Whether you’re a newcomer discovering the breadth of Pratchett and Kidby’s creative genius, or a long-time fan finally seeing those esoteric creatures rendered in glorious detail, this beautiful 4-colour gift edition hardcover is an essential addition to any Discworld collection, part of the growing Discworld Legacy Library that honours Terry’s vision.

As Rob Wilkins, Director of the Terry Pratchett Estate, says:

“The Discworld Bestiary is something Terry always wanted realized… Paul’s love of Discworld beasts shines through on every page. No one would have loved this book more than Terry.”

Paul Kidby adds:

“It has been a joyful challenge to bring the diverse creatures of Discworld to life… Capturing the unique fauna of Terry’s weird and wonderful universe is a creative honour indeed.”
