The Discworld is an immense series of comedy fantasy novels by British author Sir Terry Pratchett set on a flat world held up by four elephants and pulled along by a great space turtle. They are hugely popular and include recurring characters such as vengeful gods, a failed wizard, the first ever tourist, his ever present luggage, Death and his Granddaughter Susan. They range in their settings, some set in war torn and uncivilized continents whilst others in the more magical kingdoms overseen by gods and monsters.
