Roald Dahl once boasted, with a lack of modesty, that his name was known to virtually every child in the western world. 27 years on from his death, it is safe to say that every child you will probably encounter has read or is reading one of his great children’s stories.

Terry Pratchett sold over 85 million books to his name, in a career that spanned 40 years. He is probably most well-known for the fantastical Discworld Series, with the final novel The Shepherd’s Crown being published 5 months after the author’s death in 2015.
