Terry Pratchett’s Discworld is one of the best fantasy book series around, and there is one detail, in particular, that sets it apart. Beginning in 1983 with The Colour of Magic, Discworld introduced Pratchett’s unique world. Discworld is flat and balanced on the backs of four elephants, who stand on a giant turtle. Pratchett’s creativity in the series is matched only by his sense of humor, which ridicules everything from organized religion to consumerism across its 41 astute outings. But it is not social commentary that makes Discworld the most refreshing fantasy series of this size.
