About the author

Terry Pratchett sold his first story when he was fifteen, which earned him enough money to buy a second-hand typewriter. His first novel, a humorous fantasy entitled The Carpet People, appeared in 1971 from the publisher Colin Smythe. Terry worked for many years as a journalist and press officer, writing in his spare time and publishing a number of novels, including his first Discworld novel, The Color of Magic, in 1983. In 1987 he turned to writing full time, and has not looked back since. To date there are a total of 36 books in the Discworld series, of which four (so far) are written for children. The first of these children's books, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, won the Carnegie Medal. A non-Discworld book, Good Omens, his 1990 collaboration with Neil Gaiman, has been a longtime bestseller, and was reissued in hardcover by William Morrow in early 2006 (it is also available as a mass market paperback (Harper Torch, 2006) and trade paperback (Harper Paperbacks, 2006). Terry's latest book, Nation, a non-Discworld standalone YA novel was published in October of 2008 and was an instant New York Times and London Times bestseller. Regarded as one of the most significant contemporary English-language satirists, Pratchett has won numerous literary awards, was named an Officer of the British Empire “for services to literature” in 1998, and has received four honorary doctorates from the Universities of Warwick, Portsmouth, Bath, and Bristol. His acclaimed novels have sold more than 55 million copies (give or take a few million) and have been translated into 36 languages. Terry Pratchett lived in England with his family, and spent too much time at his word processor. Some of Terry's accolades include: The Carnegie Medal, Locus Awards, the Mythopoetic Award, ALA Notable Books for Children, ALA Best Books for Young Adults, Book Sense 76 Pick, Prometheus Award and the British Fantasy Award.

- Reviewed in Canada on July 28, 2015Verified PurchaseThis was the forth time I have read this work by Terry Pratchett and as always it was a masterpiece. Small details keep cropping up everytime I read this book and it layers upon itself giving me characters that are more rounded each time I read about them. I shall miss this author very much and the world will feel his loss.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein sehr erwachsenes Jugendbuch - zum Glück
Verified PurchaseDie Bücher über Tiffany Aching, liebevoll Young reader novels genannt, waren für mich als Scheibenwelt-Fan immer eine schwierige Angelegenheit. Terry Pratchett ist eigentlich ein Autor für Erwachsene und Bücher für Jugendliche von ihm waren nie das Gleiche wie die anderen. Dementsprechend hab ich die anderen Bücher über die junge Hexe Tiffany Aching und ihre Abenteuer nie mehr als zweimal gelesen und dementsprechend enttäuscht war ich, als ich hörte, dass Terry statt einem neuen "normalen" Roman einen über Tiffany verfasst hat.
Doch, ich gebe es zu, ich lag falsch. "I Shall Wear Midnight" ist wohl das beste Buch seit Night Watch und das ist wohl der Tatsache geschuldet, dass es Tiffanys Erwachsenwerdung dokumentiert. Und genau wie seine Hauptfigur ist auch das Buch älter und reifer als seine Vorgänger. Es ist düsterer als Pratchetts frühere Werke, ein Trend der die meisten seiner neuen Bücher kennzeichnet, aber auch voller kleiner Witze und Anspielungen, wie man es gewöhnt ist. Und als Bonus, soviel sei verraten, kommt es zum Wiedersehen mit vielen von Pratchetts Figuren, auch ein Zeichen, dass die Tiffany Aching Reihe die Distanz zu den anderen Büchern verkürzt.
"I Shall Wear Midnight" ist das erste Buch der Reihe, bei dem ich wirklich hoffe, dass die Reihe fortgesetzt wird, weil ich wissen will, wie es mit Tiffany weitergeht. Das ist sicherlich ein Zeichen, dass es sich aus dem Rest hervorheben. Das andere war, dass ichs kaum aus der Hand legen konnte. ;-)
