Terry Pratchett's incredible Discworld, floating through space on the backs of four elephants* standing on a giant turtle, supports some of the most popular characters ever imagined in the world of fantasy fiction. But the Discworld people are real, and here they are, warts (except, of course, in the case of Granny Weatherwax) and all, from Rincewind the incompetent wizard to Greebo, the rather too human cat. *once there were five, but that's another story

Discworld - you either love it or...

What can I say? I love the Discworld series, and the artwork of Paul Kidby catches the characters from the books perfectly in nearly every case I especially like his vision of Captain Carrot, and the depiction of Cohen the Barbarian is awesome!

This is a wonderful collection of pictures of Discworld charaters. It's possible they are not how you envisioned them, but these pictures are so vivid, you will feel like you know these characters even better.

For Discworld fanatics only

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2002

The Pratchett Portfolio is an impressive little book, but only serious Discworld fanatics will want to invest in acquiring it. It is quite large in format and quite thin in content, consisting of pictures and small biographical vignettes of some of the Discworld's most prominent personalities. Paul Kidby's illustrations are indeed lavish and impressive, consisting of black and white sketches alongside vibrantly colored portraits. I personally envision some of the characters, particularly Rincewind and Magrat, quite differently, but it is certainly interesting to see how a professional illustrator and bonafide Discworld fan envisions the denizens of my favorite flat planet. It must be said that Kidby ably captures the spirit of Pratchett's creations, and any favorite illustrator of Terry Pratchett's is a favorite illustrator of mine. Pratchett's biographical sketches of characters are fun to read, but there is nothing found here that cannot be found in the novels themselves. I would also note the fact that this portfolio was published in 1996, at which time only 18 Discworld novels had been published. If you are not a Discworld fanatic, you will most likely be disappointed by this item. If you are as fanatical as I am, though, the Pratchett Portfolio will take its place as an unusual, eye-catching, one-of-a-kind item in your collection.

awesome book, but only if you can find a good price

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2009

This is a nice little book of mainly pencil drawn character illustrations. It's great if you're a hardcore Pratchett fan or studying chracter design. Sadly, it's a very thin book and usually sold at a high price. If you happen to get lucky and find it cheap get it, but otherwise stick with the more recent Pratchett/Kidby art book. It's cheaper, larger, has more colored pieces, and is in general more bang for your buck.

Worthwhile addition for any Discworld fan

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2002

This is a short, large-format book that contains a collection of marvelous illustrations by master Discworld illustrator Paul Kidby, accompanied by Pratchett's descriptions of the characters depicted. It's a very nice addition to any Discworld fan's collection.

Beautiful Artwork

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2013

Beautiful illustrations, this book stands by itself, but is also a good taster for The Artwork of Discworld, which has more colour.

Good drawings, but not worth the price

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2001

First I must admit that I did enjoy the drawings in this "booklet". Paul Kidby did a great work, like anyone who saw his other works learns to expect. The reason I was disapointed is that for that price (more then $20) I expected much more content, and I expected to enjoy this book for much longer. For that price I can buy three books from the series.
