Customer Reviews

fantastic Pratchett calendar
Once again an another fantastic collection of art work showing the vast arrey of Terry Pratchett lovable characters.
Thank you to all the artists.

Fave calendar every year
Being that I live in the US and am a huge Pratchett fan the only way to get this calendar is to get it through Amazon.UK. Love this calendar every year, and I love knowing that only a select few of us here have it. I look forward to every month with the new and wonderful art work!

Well, that's one Xmas present sorted out
Having been impressed by last year's calendar so much, the decision on which calendar to have on my wall next year was an easy one. All the artists are very talented and their paintings are good enough to re-use them afterwards in small picture frames.

Curiously the thing I like best about their visions is that none of them depict the Discworld and the characters that exists in my own head, and yet I still like them!
