Product Description
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.

Great. Every month will be a treat. The artwork grasps the intricate characters in Pratchett's novels and brings them out into the limelight. You need only look at the cover, with the Nac Mac Feegle practically accosting you, to know what I mean. Crivens!

Being that I live in the US and am a huge Pratchett fan the only way to get this calendar is to get it through Amazon.UK. Love this calendar every year, and I love knowing that only a select few of us here have it. I look forward to every month with the new and wonderful art work!
