He lives in Wiltshire
"Terry Pratchett, while retaining the humour, delight and matchless logic of all his books, has actually deepened the story of the Nomes, given them not just charm, but independence, obstinacy, spirit; in sharp, swift changes of mood, he questions democracy, punishment, nostalgia, self-delusion, the denial of love ... Any child will be delighted by this book; any youth would learn from it; any adult would do both" The British Fantasy Society Reviewer "Slapstick romp laced with some sharp, satirical barbs" Publishers Weekly "A well-written, comic fantasy that lends an off-beat but believable plot with strong but quirky characters, lots of entertaining adventures and a liberal dose of humour ... Highly recommended" The School Librarian
