It's a dreamy midsummer's night in the Kingdom of Lancre. But music and romance aren't the only things filling the air.

Terry Pratchett is one of the most popular living authors in the world. His first short story, "The Hades Business," was published when he was thirteen (in his school magazine), and commercially when he was fifteen; his first full-length book, The Carpet People, was published when he was twenty-three.

In January 2009 he was made a knight by Queen Elizabeth II in recognition of his "services to literature." He lives in England, where he writes all the time..
