Stephen Briggs at a Glance
Stephen Briggs (1951-) is, in his own words, "a civil servant who dabbles in amateur dramatics". However, through his drama work, he has become heavily involved with the subsidiary works and merchandise surrounding Terry Pratchett's Discworld.
In 1991, Briggs adapted Wyrd Sisters for the Studio Theatre Club of Abingdon, Oxfordshire. with permission from Pratchett. He played the part of Duke Felmet in the production. This was his introduction to the Discworld. He greatly enjoyed the book, and the challenge of staging it, and went on to adapt Mort the following year, in which he played Death.

The Discworld Mapp
Terry Pratchett & Stephen Briggs
The Discworld Mapp
They said it couldn't be done. Well, it has been done, proving them wrong once again. After years of research, cunningly contrived in as many minutes, the Discworld has its map. It takes full account of the historic and much-documented expeditions of the Discworld's feted (or at leats fated) explorers: General Sir Roderick Purdeigh, Lars Larsnephew, Llamedos Jones, Lady Alice Venturi, Ponce da Quirm and, of course, Venter Borass.
Now travellers on this circular world can see it all: from Klatch to the Ramtops, from Cori Celesti to the Circle Sea, from Genua to Bhangbhangduc. The great cities of Hunghung, Pseudopolis, Al Khali and, of course, Ankh-Morpork are placed with loving care upon this world which is carried through space by Great A'Tuin.
A Tourist Guide to Lancre
Terry Pratchett & Stephen Briggs
A Tourist Guide to Lancre: A Discworld Map
Not only an artistic and breathtaking view of Lancre but also an interesting and informative guide to one of the Discworld's more, er, picturesque kingdoms.
Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick live there. Lancre could hardly be somewhere ordinary, could it?
Magic glues the Discworld together and a lot of it ends up in Lancre, principal Kingdom of the Ramtop Mountains. Between Uberwald and Whale Bay, the Octarine Grass Country and the Widdershins Ocean lies the most exciting and dangerous terrain in all Discworld. The Ramtops supply Discworld with most of its witches and wizards. The leaves on the trees in the Ramtops move even when there is no breeze. Rocks go for a stroll in the evening. Even the land, at times, seems alive.
The mapp may only be two-dimensional, but watch it very carefully and you might see it jostle about a bit.

As read by Stephen Briggs
The abridged versions by Tony Robinson are much shorter and more like listening to actors playing the various parts due to the skill of Tony's acting in portraying the various characters.
