Justice has prevailed and Terry Pratchett is officially guilty of Literature once again, as his revered tale joins literary greats across time, continents and genres in being recognised as the best in modern literature as part of the Penguin Modern Classics series with this annotated edition of his classic Discworld Story.
This Penguin Classics edition of Terry Pratchett’s twenty-ninth Discworld novel includes a new foreword by Rob Wilkins, plus introduction and expert annotations by Dr David Lloyd and Dr Darryl Jones providing context that will deepen appreciation of Pratchett’s most important works amongst new and loyal readers alike.
Ka Bradley, editorial director at Penguin Press, said: “It is an unmitigated joy to be able to publish Sir Terry Pratchett—one of the most influential British writers of the 20th and 21st centuries—as a Penguin Modern Classic. I am thrilled to be able to celebrate his literary achievements and the immensely high esteem he is held in by readers and other writers with this edition of Night Watch, his finest novel.”
Rob Wilkins says, “It’s a gratifying experience to see Terry’s greatest Discworld novel take its well-deserved seat amongst other classic titles of the modern age. For so long, Terry worked against a backdrop of snobbery uniquely targeted at genre writers, it’s heartening to see him once again recognised as the great wordsmith, commentator and thinker that he was.”
