Artefacts and Entertainment

The Discworld has given rise to many games, both computerised and non-computerised. Among the latter is this fine traditional wooden jigsaw (Malmesbury: Wentworth Wooden Jigsaw Co., 2002) with one of Paul Kidby's striking illustrations of the Librarian of the Unseen University (for jigsaw availability see: www.outofthehat.co.uk).

Also displayed are three examples from a series of mugs reproducing Josh Kirby's illustrations for the hardback book jackets for Guards! Guards!, Reaper Man, and Witches Abroad . Three examples from a series of mugs reproducing Josh Kirby's illustrations for the Discworld book covers. The illustrations shown are for Guards! Guards!, Reaper Man, and Witches Abroad. Josh Kirby illustrated virtually all the book covers for the U.K. editions of the Discworld novels until his death in 2001. Of the artist, Terry Pratchett once wrote: "I only invented the Discworld. Josh created it".
