Creative Legacies: Rhianna Pratchett with Harry Whittaker | Tunbridge Wells Literary Festival
Terry Pratchett and Lucinda Riley are two late icons of literature who have left behind huge legacies. Rhianna Pratchett and Harry Whittaker are continuing their parents' storytelling careers through videogames, improvised comedy, radio and of course the written word. Meeting for the first time in this iconic conversation, we will find out how being raised by a creative parent inspired these two creators to build their own careers.
Happy birthday, Dad. Time to come back now, it’s all gone a bit rubbish without you. ❤️❤️❤️
THE BIGGEST NEWS! Rob and I are offering up a hand-signed hardback, first edition/first printing copy of Monstrous Regiment straight from the Pratchett archives. Those who know the story will know why it’s a pertinent one for this cause.

Petition: End the Badger cull and adopt other approaches to bovine TB control
The Government’s TB Eradication Strategy allows the continued killing of badgers, a protected species, until the end of this Parliament, despite the Labour manifesto calling the cull “ineffective.” We believe the badger cull is unjustified and must end.
News! Wee Free Men, Thief of Time and Monstrous Regiment are being adapted into graphic novels with Transworld and Puffin. I’m word wrangling on WFM, and Gary Chudleigh and Rachael Stott are adapting ToT. Exciting times!
It’s not mentioned in the press release, but I have done a fair bit of previous work in comics, creating stories for DC, Dark Horse, Marvel, Dynamite and Kodansha.
As I sit here working away on an adaptation of one of your books, it’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since I put Pongo on your bed to sleep for the night and you went to sleep for a bit longer. Miss you always, Dad. ❤️❤️❤️
Further apologies, that should read Mondays and Thursdays.
Apologies for being slow off the mark, but EXCITING NEWS! My BBC radio 4 series Mythical Creatures is being repeated over the festive period. It will run on R4 on Tues & Thurs at 9.45pm from Dec 2nd to Jan 2nd. You can also listen to all episodes on BBC Sounds.
