Hi,
I finished reading the Arthur series a little while back, absolutely adored them, and there’s been something that’s interested me for quite a while. I noticed, as I was reading, that Merlin spoke quite similarly to the way that Terry Pratchett writes – another of my favourite authors – fairly frank, intelligently and conversationally. I believe the two of you were aware of each other, enough that he wrote a foreword for one of your books, though I may be mistaken. But I was wondering if the similarities between Merlin’s speech and Pratchett’s writing were intentional, or a happy coincidence?
Thanks,
Alex
