Terry Pratchett

Pratchett lived with his wife and daughter in Broad Chalke, a village situated west of Salisbury, in Wiltshie. He got married to his wife Lyn in 1968 and their daughter who has followed her father’s footsteps to become an author as well, was born to them in 1967. He wrote and published over fifty books.

The best place to start is the Dramascripts series, the earliest of Terry Pratchett's multi-book series: it opens with The Valley of Fear (1915) and runs to 56 books across 1915–2017, ending with The Brotherhood of Smoke (2017). Terry Pratchett's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.
