DISCWORLD:
The Folklore Of Discworld
by Terry Pratchett and Jacqueline Simpson
The Folklore Of Discworld
by Terry Pratchett and Jacqueline Simpson
Full Of Things Most People Know, But Things Not Known By Most!
Some
of the most unique and magical beings on the Discworld are born from
stories and belief alone. Here Gods walk the Disc, along with trolls,
vampires, witches and many other creatures of human imagination. In this
alternate universe stories, superstitions and the supernatural are all
warped and re-imagined into a reality both humorous and flat, as just
about everything on this flat world has its roots on the round world of
Earth. For on the Discworld magic is real and all things that have been
imagined have been given life.
The Folklore Of Discworld and the folklore of our world are almost identical but for a few differences, the most obvious of which being that in our world folklore is just that, folk tales and legends, but in the Discworld folklore has become much more, it has become reality, albeit a twisted reality. Here the fairy tales, myths and legends that are ingrained within our collective consciousness are collected, manipulated and explained through the combined efforts of Terry Pratchett's unique wit and Jacqueline Simpson's folklore knowledge creating a book both informative and funny.
