There's an entire geography of countries and cultures in there with wizards, witches, trolls, werewolves and vampires all jostling alongside humans. It's the great attribute isn't it we have as humans to imagine, to fantasise, to occupy a mental playground and yet Terry Pratchett's imagination is populated with so much more than humans. This week the making of a magnificent imagination. Over the next two shows, two novelists charting the terrain of the brain in very different ways. Natasha Mitchell: One of the world's most celebrated novelists talking about what he describes as 'the moron in his head', Alzheimer's disease. It doesn't mean it's used any better and it doesn't look as if it's all that bigger but apparently I can rewire a little bit or so it would appear and I still keep on going.
One reason I'm doing well apparently is that because-my teachers will turn in their grave on this-I have a large brain. But there isn't very much there and it isn't all that big. Terry Pratchett: You look at the brain and think this looks if you saw it on the butcher's slab you wouldn't want it very much.
