‘The Colour of Magic’ author Terry Pratchett is celebrating his 76th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed authors of his generation.
Popular author Terry Pratchett has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 76th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Pratchett, a cultural icon
Born Terence David John Pratchett in Beaconsfield on April 28, 1948, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in English history. Pratchett's not just a great author, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Terry hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Terry Pratchett as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 76.
Happy Birthday, Terry, you're the best!
