If you do finally crack the spine on The Shepherd's Crown, or have done so over the last decade, we'd love to hear from you, see your photos, or hear your tales. As @terryandrob.bsky.social says: enjoy. The Discworld journey is never over.

It’s been ten years since the publication of The Shepherd’s Crown, the last book Terry Pratchett completed before he died. Once the spine on this one was cracked, there were no more new Pratchetts to look forward to, and I know a lot of Discworld readers who were, understandably, with that sad reality in mind, reluctant to finish - or even start - this one because it felt like the final closing of a door. But I also know that Terry wanted his books to be read and enjoyed far more than he wanted them kept on a shelf. And as time passes it becomes ever more apparent how much the Discworld books reward re-visiting, perpetually revealing something new, literary gems Terry had hidden away for a second or third, or even more, re-read. Every Pratchett is to some degree an unread Pratchett, including the ones you’ve already enjoyed and including The Shepherd’s Crown. So the greatest way to honour Terry’s legacy is to pull that book you’ve been saving off the shelf, make a nice cup of tea and settle down to read the story he wrote for you. Enjoy. Rob Wilkins Wiltshire, August 2025

On 27th August 2015, The Shepherd's Crown, the last book Sir Terry Pratchett completed before he died, was published.

To mark the ten year anniversary, we have a message from Rob Wilkins:

'Seminal' Terry Pratchett lecture to be published in clothbound edition by Transworld

ICYMI: Transworld is set to publish a new clothbound hardback edition of Terry Pratchett’s "seminal" lecture, Shaking Hands with Death, 15 years after it was first broadcast 👇 #BookSky

A landmark essay from Sir Terry Pratchett on the right to a good life — and a good death. First delivered as the BBC Richard Dimbleby Lecture, this powerful piece is now available in a stunning clothbound edition. Afterword by Peter Serafinowicz.💬⚖️
