For more than two decades, Terry Pratchett has been regaling readers with tales of Discworld. A world populated by ineffectual wizards and sharp-as-tacks witches, by tired policemen and devious dictators, by reformed thieves and vampires who have sworn to drink no blood. It is a world that is vastly different from our own except when it isn't.
