The Unseen University Series

Anthill Inside T-Shirt T-shirt

£22.00 - £24.00

“On its outer surface Hex has a sticker saying ‘Anthill Inside’. No one knows why it is there, but it turned up one day.” We can only guess at the reason for the sticker’s mysterious appearance on Hex at the Unseen University. But one may presume that the millions of ants released into the complex network of glass tubes that make up the bulk of this mighty Discworld computer have something to do with it…

Librarian Pencil Mug

£8.00

The very first pencil print released was the Librarian, a perennial favourite with readers. This classic illustration is now available as a mug for the very first time.

So it was reasonable to assume that the small purple newts had been part of the floor and the pineapple custard may once have been some books. And several of the wizards later swore that the small sad orangutan sitting in the middle of it all looked very much like the head librarian.

A grey marl t-shirt featuring the crest of Unseen University emblazoned on the chest, including the UU motto – NVNC ID VIDES, NVNC NE VIDES – Now You See It, Now You Don’t.

“The aim was to force some sort of regulation on wizardry, which at that time was quite chaotic, and to permit the existence of an institution that would allow one wizard to meet another without immediately endeavouring to blow his head off with magical fire, as was then the case.”

Many things went on at Unseen University and, regrettably, teaching had to be one of them. The faculty had long ago confronted this fact and had perfected various devices for avoiding it. But this was perfectly all right because, to be fair, so had the students.

Sourcery 2022 Cover

Exclusively embossed with Terry's signature and sealed with his coat of arms

£10.00

Format: Paperback

Page count: 289

Size: 127mm x 198mm x 18mm

Transworld is releasing new editions of Terry Pratchett’s bestselling Discworld novels. The Witches series were the first to get the treatment, now it’s the turn of the Wizards.

Introducing the new look for Sourcery, the third book in the series.

‘It’s vital to remember who you really are . . . it isn’t a good idea to rely on other people or things to do it for you, you see. They always get it wrong.’

An eighth son of an eighth son is born, a wizard squared, a source of magic. A sourcerer.

Unseen University, the Discworld’s most magical establishment, has finally got its wish: the emergence of a wizard more powerful than ever before. You’d think they would have been a little more careful what they wished for . . .

As the sourcerer takes over the University and sets his sights on the rest of the world, only one wizard manages to escape his influence. Unfortunately for everyone, it’s Rincewind.

Once again the cowardly wizard must embark on a quest: to deliver a precious artefact – the very embodiment of magic itself – halfway across the Disc to safety. If he doesn’t make it, the death of all wizardry is at hand.

And the end of the world, depending on who you listen to.

‘One of our greatest fantasists, and beyond a doubt the funniest’ George R.R. Martin

‘May well be considered his masterpiece . . . Humour such as his is an endangered species’ The Times

Sourcery is the third book in the Wizard series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

Interesting Times 2022 Cover

Exclusively embossed with Terry's signature and sealed with his coat of arms

£10.00

Format: Paperback

Page count: 432

Size: 127mm x 198mm x 18mm

Transworld is releasing new editions of Terry Pratchett’s bestselling Discworld novels. The Witches series were the first to get the treatment, now it’s the turn of the Wizards.

Introducing the new look for Interesting Times, the fifth book in the series.

‘There is a curse. They say: may you live in interesting times . . .’

This is the worst thing you can wish on a citizen of Discworld. Especially for the magically challenged Rincewind, who has already had far too much excitement in his life.

Unfortunately, the unlucky wizard always seems to end up in the middle of, well, absolutely everything. So when a request for a ‘Great Wizzard’ arrives from the faraway Counterweight Continent, it’s obviously Rincewind who’s sent. For one thing, he’s the only one who spells wizard that way.

Once again Rincewind is thrown headfirst into a dangerous adventure. For the oldest empire on the Disc is in turmoil and Chaos is building. And, for some reason, someone believes Rincewind will have a vital role in the coming war . . .

Exclusively embossed with Terry's signature and sealed with his coat of arms

£10.00

Format: Paperback

Page count: 416

Size: 127mm x 198mm x 18mm

Transworld is releasing new editions of Terry Pratchett’s bestselling Discworld novels. The Witches series were the first to get the treatment, now it’s the turn of the Wizards.

Introducing the new look for The Last Continent, the sixth book in the series.

‘Anything you do in the past changes the future. The tiniest little actions have huge consequences. You might tread on an ant now and it might entirely prevent someone from being born in the future.’

Rincewind, inept wizard and reluctant hero, has found himself magically stranded on the Discworld’s last continent.

It’s hot. It’s dry. There was this thing once called The Wet, which no one believes in any more. Practically everything that’s not poisonous is venomous. But it’s the best bloody place in the world, all right?

And in a few days, it will die. The only thing standing between the last continent and wind-blown doom is Rincewind, and he can’t even spell wizard. Still . . . no worries, eh?

‘A minor masterpiece. I laughed so much I fell from my armchair’ Time Out

‘A master storyteller’ A. S. Byatts

The Last Continent is the sixth book in the Wizard series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

Introducing the new look for Unseen Academicals, the seventh book in the series.

‘We play and are played and the best we can hope for is to do it with style.’

Football has come to the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork. And now the wizards of Unseen University must win a football match without using magic . . . so they’re in the mood for trying everything else.

To do this, they recruit an unlikely group of players: Trev, a street urchin with a talent for kicking a tin can; Glenda, the night chef who makes a mean pie; Juliet, the kitchen hand turned world’s greatest fashion model; and the mysterious Mr Nutt, who has something powerful, and dark, locked away inside him . . .

And the thing about football – the important thing about football – is that it is not just about football. Here we go, here we go, here we go!

‘This isn’t just football, it’s Discworld football. Or, to borrow another phrase, it’s about life, the Universe and everything’ The Times

The Librarian Hogswatch Sweatshirt

£30.00 - £32.00

The Librarian under the mistletoe. A jolly festive sweatshirt. A wonderful edition to any  seasonal wardrobe.

“Yes, sir, but the Librarian likes bananas, sir.”
“Very nourishin’ fruit, Mr Stibbons.”
“Yes, sir. Although, funnily enough it’s not actually a fruit, sir.”
“Really?”
“Yes, sir. Botanically, it’s a type of fish, sir. According to my theory it’s cladistically associated with the Krullian pipefish, sir, which of course is also yellow and goes around in bunches or shoals.”
“And lives in trees?”
“Well, not usually, sir. The banana is obviously exploiting a new niche.”
“Good heavens, really? It’s a funny thing, but I’ve never much liked bananas and I’ve always been a bit suspicious of fish, too. That’d explain it.” Terry Pratchett, Hogfather
