The Folklore Of Discworld

The Folklore of Discworld by Terry Pratchett Terry
Pratchett joins up with a leading folklorist to reveal the
legends myths and customs of Discworld together with
helpful hints from Planet Earth. Most of us grew up having
always known when to touch wood or cross our fingers and
what happens when a princess kisses a frog or a boy pulls
a sword from a stone yet sadly some of these things are
beginning to be forgotten. Legends myths and fairy tales:
our world is made up of the stories we told ourselves
about where we came from and how we got here. It is the
same on Discworld except that beings which on Earth are
creatures of the imagination — like vampires trolls
witches and possibly gods — are real alive and in some
cases kicking on the Disc. In The Folklore of Discworld
Terry Pratchett teams up with leading British folklorist
Jacqueline Simpson to take an irreverent yet illuminating
look at the living myths and folklore that are reflected
celebrated and affectionately libelled in the uniquely
imaginative universe of Discworld.
