Discworld Books

Welcome to the enchanting world of Discworld, where the fantastical and the absurd collide in a riotous symphony of humour and adventure! At Books2Door, we're thrilled to offer you the complete Discworld series by the incomparable Terry Pratchett. With over 40 novels to immerse yourself in, this is a literary universe like no other, a place where magic and satire dance hand in hand and where the mundane becomes extraordinary.

In the Discworld series, Terry Pratchett invites you into a flat, disc-shaped world balanced on the backs of four giant elephants, who, in turn, stand on the back of Great A'Tuin, a cosmic turtle. This unusual setting is the stage for a wildly imaginative and hilarious collection of stories that traverse genres and themes, all the while poking fun at the quirks of our own world. From the bustling city of Ankh-Morpork to the perilous journeys across the Disc, you'll meet an array of memorable characters, including the bumbling wizard Rincewind, the indomitable Granny Weatherwax, and the lovable anthropomorphic personification of Death himself.

There are many ways to embark on a journey through Discworld. 

• You can start at the very beginning with the adventures of Rincewind and Twoflower in The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic, which take you across the Discworld. 
• If you enjoy tales of witches and the supernatural, with a hefty dose of cultural satire, you'll love the Witches series, set principally in the folkloric region of Lancre where Granny Weatherwax lives. This sequence includes novels such as Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters (Pratchett’s take on Macbeth), and Witches Abroad.
• Alternatively, you can dive into the fan-favourite stories of Captain Sam Vimes of Ankh-Morpork’s City Watch with books like Guards! Guards! and Men at Arms. 
• Don't dismiss the unforgettable stories of perhaps the most popular character, Death. Death is around the corner in nearly every novel, but you can learn more about him in Mort.
• Moist von Lipwig is a conman, spared from execution by Ankh-Morpork’s leader (dictator) Lord Vetinari on the condition that he spearhead the Discworld’s Industrial Revolution. This sequence of books begins with Going Postal.

If you can’t decide, you can grab the first 5 books of each sequence in the Enter the Discworld Box Set, now available at Books2Door!

There are also several Discworld books suitable for younger readers. The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents, a send-up of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, was recently adapted into an animated movie starring Hugh Laurie. The Tiffany Aching books are perfect for fans of Diane Wynne Jones, and are another great jumping-on point for readers of all ages. Tiffany is a trainee witch, learning the ropes from characters like Granny Weatherwax, whose adventures start in The Wee Free Men.
