Terry Pratchett, standing at an exact 5ft 7 (170.2 cm), was a colossal presence in fantasy literature despite his self-described modest height. He humorously noted, 'I'm five foot seven and I'm never going to get any taller,' contrasting his physical stature with the gigantic imagination behind his Discworld series.
Best known for iconic works like The Colour of Magic, Going Postal, Hogfather, Good Omens (co-authored with Neil Gaiman), and Equal Rites, Pratchett's witty novels sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His 5ft 7 (170.2 cm) frame belied the larger-than-life worlds he created, earning him a knighthood and global acclaim.
Later in life, Pratchett openly discussed his battle with posterior cortical atrophy, producing documentaries like Terry Pratchett: Choosing to Die, cementing his legacy as a bold voice in literature and beyond.
