I do like how Pterry plays with spellings in these books. I’ve just started Soul Music and have met Imp and his lls 😄

Soul Music might be the peak of his round world culture references, I think. I consider myself a proud Llamedosian 😁 |

I’m reading Sourcery and can’t help thinking that JK Rowling must have read this. The arch chancellor hat is so similar to the sorting hat. Also when reading Light Fantastic I noticed the plant that screams when pulled up - the Mandrakes? Or maybe they both got these ideas from some myth or something? |

Rowling nicked stuff from TP and lots of others places. As did pratchett who nicked stuff from Lovecraft, Tolkien and others. The difference is that Rowling denied she'd done so where as pratchett was honest about it. |

And to be clear, there's nothing wrong with authors nicking bits and being semi derivative, but with your own spin on the area. After all building an entire fictional universe is hard |

I’m wondering if the owner of this craft shop in Bude has read Soul Music |

A bit of a random find as I was searching for something else (not in the Daily Mail), but interesting... dailymail.co.uk |
