Sir Terry Pratchett, Knight of England?

30 March 2007 (11:26) Terry Pratchett News News Archives

On the UK Government’s official e-petition site, a petition is up to award Terry Pratchett knighthood for services to literature. The petition is open until June 11 this year, and as of today has 781 signatures. If you are a UK resident, add your name and show support!  To quote the petition:

The UK’s most prolific and successful living author both at home and overseas, Terry Pratchett’s books are funny, well plotted and written with a love for the English language and an artistry that will ensure that his work will be read and enjoyed for a long time. His Discworld series holds up a mirror to our world in a way that few authors have done, and promotes the very best of traditional British characteristics. Honour, loyalty, bravery, tolerance and humour.
