Terry Pratchett?s daughter Rhianna has brought down the curtain on her father?s Discworld novels, declaring that she will not write any more herself, nor give anyone else permission to do so. The comic novels set in a world balanced on the backs of four elephants standing on a giant turtle are ?sacred to dad?, she said.
The author, videogame and comics writer told a fan last week that her late father?s forthcoming novel, The Shepherd?s Crown, featuring teenage witch Tiffany Aching, would be the final Discworld book. And asked by a fan if she would be continuing the series herself, she ruled out the possibility.
?No. I?ll work on adaptations, spin-offs, maybe tie-ins, but the books are sacred to dad,? she wrote on Twitter. ?That?s it. Discworld is his legacy. I shall make my own.?
She added: ?To reiterate ? no I don?t intend on writing more Discworld novels, or giving anyone else permission to do so.?
