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.

@rhipratchett He gave so many people joy, and hope, and sanity through his writing. Terry is dearly missed.

I recently checked out Guards! Guards! from our local library to read with my 9-year old son. His books are still every bit as spellbinding as I remember.

@rhipratchett *Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís* as some say here.

@rhipratchett ten?!? what the fuck? :O
@rhipratchett I am still being awed and surprised in re-reads by the amount of what looks like fantastic invention in Discworld but is in fact based on real things. Not to mention the deep examination, reflection, anger and thinking that is going on. Always liked Sci Fi and Fantasy as vehicles to explore the human condition. Gosh, 10yrs? I did the drawing in 2010 - much to my surprise.
@rhipratchett I only met your father once, but he was one of the most influential people of my life. I switched to reading in English to get more out of his books. I love his capability to see and depict all the small flaws we humans have while still showing their value and uniqueness. I deeply miss his insights and humor. You have to be a very trusted friend to borrow my copy of "Guards, guards" which he signed.
@masek @rhipratchett Not having met STP is actually one of the biggest regrets I have in my life.

@rhipratchett Nobody else could ever invent a world that was so weird and different from ours and at the same time just made sense and reminded us of things that are weird in our own lives.

He will never be forgotten.

@rhipratchett so thankful we have so many of his stories to treasure.
@rhipratchett GNU Terry Pratchett, a man whose stories got me through so many lonely times. Mind how you go.

@hedders @rhipratchett We have that in common: Many of his works, preferably as audiobooks performed by #stephenbriggs, gave me much needed optimism and faith in humanity during my more troubled years.

#forevergrateful

Looking forward to reading the Tiffany Aching novels to/with my daughter.

Our loss as fans paled in comparison to yours, but the world lost some of its shine after his passing. GNU Terry Pratchett 🙁
@rhipratchett He’s still my fav author of all time. Wil ways recommend folks to check out his and your work
@rhipratchett I've never met Terry, but his books are with me all the time. We miss him and will always do.

@rhipratchett we're so lucky to have been touched by his imagination.

@rhipratchett Thank-you for sharing this lovely photo and memory of your father, one of the people in this world who genuinely and consistently made it richer for me.
@rhipratchett Thank you for sharing this family photo with us to mark the anniversary
@rhipratchett As the laziest person I know, I never enjoyed PE, so I still try to live by Victor Tugelbend's mantra - workout and be fit, it's less effort to do things with decent muscles!
@rhipratchett
His books have brought me so much joy, and continues to do so. I'm soon going to start reading them with my little one and I look forward to it so much.
