The world is a poorer place without him.
I used to be embarrassed that I spent my childhood from the age of 9 in one of the safest Tory seats in the country. Then I heard Terry Pratchett talk about what he owed the local public library he’d been to as a child. Now I’m proud to have grown up borrowing books from Beaconsfield Library, the same library that Terry Pratchett borrowed books from.
It’s still there, though its opening hours may be cut…
