The author offers an appreciation of the work of English fantasy author Terry Pratchett on the occasion of his death in 2015. She discusses his books set in the fictional place Discworld and describes characters from the books including Tiffany Aching and Esme Weatherwax, or Granny Weatherwax. She notes the absence of cynicism in her love of Pratchett's works and compares it to the uncynical optimism of supporters of British Labour Party leadership contender Jeremy Corbyn.
