Back in school he was a member of the debating society and wrote articles for the school magazine. This experience credited his education to the Beaconsfield library. He was mainly interested in astronomy during his early age though he lacked mathematics skills.
He later developed interest for science fiction but later stopped when he got his first job.

Terry got married to Lyn Purves in and was blessed with a daughter Rhianna Pratchett who is also a writer and was born in Pratchett died on March 12th, Born Terence David John Pratchett in Beaconsfield, England, in April , Terry Pratchett was, at school, a proficient student who showed adeptness for writing and the English language.
At this young age, Pratchett developed an interest in astronomy and science fiction. Pratchett continued his writing through school and once he had left. This led to his first book, The Carpet People, being published in The story revolves around a species of characters known as Munrungs. This species live in a world known as the Carpet. It then details the journey the Munrungs have as they travel across Carpet to find a new home after theirs is destroyed.
However, although Pratchett wrote many, many books along the lines of The Carpet People, with different series, he is best known for his creation of the Discworld series. While the Discworld series is a series of its own, they can also be broken down into several other series and some standalone novels. The Discworld series contains the Rincewind series, the Tiffany Aching series, the Watch series, amongst others, and each have their own fanbases amongst the broader Discworld fans.
It also features the Nac Mac Feegle. The story continues that of the young Tiffany and how she becomes a mentor herself to a young wannabe witch w ho has just arrived in Lancre.

The writer Terry Pratchett , who took millions of readers on a madcap journey to the universe of Discworld, has died aged The 40th, Raising Steam, was released last year, with the writer completing recent work using voice-recognition software.
The announcement of his death unleashed a tide of sympathy from around the world. He could do knockabout for schoolboys and girls but he was also subtle and wise and very funny in the adult world. His prose was layered: there was a mischievous surface, and a layer of complicated running jokes, and something steely and uncompromising that turned the reader cold from time to time.
He was my unlikely hero, and saved me from disaster more than once by making me laugh and making me think. I vastly enjoy his playful, smart Discworld books. Born in , Pratchett left school at 17 to work on his local paper, the Bucks Free Press. All the court cases, such crimes as there were. You got to know the coppers, they told you stuff — for a young man with a pencil, you could do what you wanted, really.
But it was the novel he wrote while working as a publicity officer for the Central Electricity Generating Board, The Colour of Magic, which landed him a six-book deal and allowed him to write full time. The characters of his fantastical creation, Discworld, inhabit a world held up by four elephants balanced on the back of a giant turtle.
