Description: Original artworks of rare distinction -- all born from a very special partnership between an author and the painter who faithfully brings his fantastical universe to life in images. When Josh Kirby received the commission to do the cover for Terry Pratchett's first Discworld novel, he had no inkling that this would lead to something much bigger than a one-off assignment. However, since that time, their partnership has expanded beyond the series to include two earlier sci-fi and several children's books, as well as Eric, a fully illustrated novella. Here, in richly dazzling colors and vividly energetic designs, are the swizards, witches, bizarre creatures, and (of course!) voluptuous maidens that populate this unusual world -- a disc of sea and land balanced on the backs of four elephants, who themselves ride on the back of a cosmic turtle that swims through space. Plus: a selection of paintings from their other collaborations.
