The Folklore of Discworld
The Folklore of Discworld | Terry Pratchett, Jacqueline Simpson
5 posts | 7 read | 8 to read
NOW UPDATED to include material on the Discworld books up to Raising Steam. Most of us grow up having always known to touch wood or cross our fingers, and what happens when a princess kisses a frog or a boy pulls a sword from a stone, yet sadly some of these things are now beginning to be forgotten. Legends, myths, fairytales: our world is made up of the stories we told ourselves about where we came from and how we got there. It is the same on Discworld, except that beings which on Earth are creatures of the imagination - like vampires, trolls, witches and, possibly, gods - are real, alive and in some cases kicking on the Disc. In The Folklore of Discworld, Terry Pratchett teams up with leading British folklorist Jacqueline Simpson to take an irreverent yet illuminating look at the living myths and folklore that are reflected, celebrated and affectionately libelled in the uniquely imaginative universe of Discworld.

Anybody else nickname their Pokémon?

Or am I the weirdo here? #pokemongo #gnuTerryPratchett

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I like it...Terry, Terra 👍 5y
TheRiehlDeal Oh the nostalgia! I remember playing Pokemon Diamond and Pearl on the Nintendo DS Lite. I'd like to get a Switch, but I don't plan on using it for multiplayer. Plus, it's really expensive. I know they sell a lite version of the Switch. 5y
Kenyazero Haha amazing. I think I've only nicknamed a few Pokemon in Go, but I nickname everyone in the regular games. Literary names is a good idea though. I might need to start doing that 🤔 5y

Kenyazero I usually nickname my pokemon (and I love the idea of literary nicknames!) But pokemon turnover is so high in PoGo I never nickname them in this one. (Ha, looks like 4 years ago I felt differently) 5321 4312 8037 (edited) 9mo

Interesting exploration of links between folklore, myth and tradition on Earth and Discworld. I had no idea it was so intricately linked to existing folklore.

Terry Pratchett's puns are my patronus. Seriously. So many puns. #overdrive
