Product Description

The Annual Discworld Calendar is an inspired collection of paintings by award-winning illustrators who give us their own unique interpretations of Terry Pratchett's phenomal Discworld. Each full-page illustration also appears on the back; there are biographies of the artists as well as the author on the inside front page. The calendar dates are exhaustively researched and include major real-time calendrical data for the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. It also includes notable Discworld dates like the Creator's Birthday, Samedi Nuite Morte, and the Uberwald League of Temperance Day (Remember: Not One Drop!). Artists briefed include Edward Miller, Les Edwards, Sandy Nightingale, Jackie Morris, David Frankland, David Wyatt, and, of course, Stephen Player and Paul Kidby, Terry Pratchett's favourite portrayers of the Discworld.

I love Terry Pratchett's work. I am also a very visual person. The calendars with illustrations by a number of artists are marvelous. Since the calendar came quickly, and was in excellent condition, I couldn't ask for more.

Really happy with this year's offerings.
A well selected mixture of artists and subjects, each artist bringing out the character of the subject in their own way.

Actually purchased this calendar for the illustrations. I'm a big fan of Terry Pratchett and the artists involved with portraying his characters. The calendar was produced on good quality coated paper and the illustrations are very sharp and clear. I'm happy with this purchase.
