A Slip of the Keyboard

Terry Pratchett earned a place in the hearts of readers the world over with his bestselling Discworld series - but in recent years he became equally well-known as an outspoken campaigner for causes including Alzheimer's research and animal rights. A Slip of the Keyboard brings together the finest examples of Pratchett's non fiction writing: on his life, on his work, and on the weirdness of the world; from memories of Granny Pratchett to speculation about Gandalf's love life, the reasons banana daiquiris are so important, and passionate defences of the causes dear to him.
