Dennis E. Henley said Terry Pratchett's First Work of Art. Terry Pratchett admitted once that if he "had stayed in the same environment of The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic" people would say "'whatever happened to Terry Pratchett?!'"I think Sir Terry flexed his literary muscles with his third book, Equal Rites.
