Terry Pratchett and Jacqueline Simpson give Discworld fans a fascinating look at the terrestrial myths and mythic races (dwarves, elves, goblins, trolls) and creatures (vampires, werewolves, zombies, golems.) that gave rise to their Discworld counterparts.One good example is Discworld elves. Sir Terry's elves (Lords and Ladies, The Wee Free Men) are closer to the myths of Europe and the British Isles than Tolkien and other recent fantasy writers. When Irish peasants referred to "The Lords and Ladies," "The Gentry," or "The Shining Ones," it was because they were scared shitless of them! They were beyond mischievous; they were capricious, often cruel.He has re-interpreted other mythic races and creatures: Discworld vampires are basically the romanticized character we see in 19th and 20th century novels and 20th and 21st Century cinema; but, with interesting twists: "Black Ribboners" have sworn off human blood ("the b-vord") to integrate into society.Discworld readers with an interest in folklore and mythology will find The Folklore of Discworld entertaining. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is legen... wait for it, dary! *by D***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 21, 2014* Terry Pratchett is a wonderful storyteller. It probably has to do with the fact that in the Discworld, stories happen to the characters, instead of the other way around. It's well known that things from our world often find their way into Discworld, and vice versa. If you've ever wondered where the heck Pratchett gets ideas for some of the zanier things that go on in Discworld, here's your answer! Many, many things that happen on Discworld have also happened in our world, either in reality, or in myth. This book was a wonderful read, and I was truly sad when I got to the end, because I wanted to read more and more. If you love folklore, myth, and other old stories, this book should not disappoint. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Folklore of All Worlds *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 27, 2011* http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003T0FK3U/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_imgThe Folklore of Discworld is actually the story of the folklore of earth, of which Terry Pratchett apparently has an unending supply, and how it was transmuted into the folklore of Discworld. For example, the turtle and elephants came from Sanskrit . . . most recently. But who knows where they started? Who knows where any real folklore started? There is some American folklore that definitely came while glaciers were still on the continent; you will find it in any very good book of Hopi folklore. That takes us back up to about ten thousand years ago. Some of the folklore in this book is very probably that old.If you like folklore, you will love this book.If you don't like folklore, what are you doing reading Terry Pratchett to start with? --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/8378542-the-folklore-of-discworld](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/8378542-the-folklore-of-discworld) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
