ABOUT
THE AUTHOR Hodgesaargh (David Hodges) and Terry Pratchett ‘Published
by the Great Dyskworld Publishing Company, Treacle Mine Road, Ankh-Morpork’ A footnote on the title page states, 'Terry Pratchett wrote "About the Author". This work has been described as a monument to the Ankh-Morpork publishing industry’s traditional hate relationship with dictionaries. Although described as reprint, redesigned to allow for the insertion of illustrations by Paul Kidby, and ‘Catskind’ (Désirée Wörner), and published in an edition of 500 copies on 9/8/02. ‘About the Author’ now appears on p.6. Translations of the booklet were issued by the author in editions of one or two, signed by Pratchett, but not by Hodges. The first was, I believe, in Polish, O polowaniu z SokoÓ em czyli poradnik sokolnictwa dla pocz·tkuj·cych, trs. Maciej Czerwinski, in 1999. Other editions exist in German ( ), Spanish (El Arte de la Cetrería y la Halconéra, trs. Manuel Viciano Delibano), Orangutan ( ), Romanian (?oim²ritu êimbónzirea altor paseri d² prad², trs. Daniel Badea, 2001), Bulgarian, (Èçêycòâoòo äa ëoâyâaø cúc co êoë, trs. Maria Simeonova), Morse code ( ), and a Leonard of Quirm backwards edition. Only one copy of each is printed and sold each year, by auction.

CONTRIBUTION
In October 1965, Terry pseudonymously took over writing stories for the Children's Circle column in The Bucks Free Press (the first of which, spread over 13 weeks, featured characters from what would become The Carpet People). Before he left that paper in September 1970 to work for the Western Daily Press, apart from his normal reporting and feature-writing activities, he had written over seventy tales that were spread over nearly 250 issues of the paper.
