History
| Date | Event | Details |
|---|---|---|
24 November 1983 | Publication | Received modestly on publication, as Pratchett was not yet a major commercial or critical presence. The novel found a cult readership that grew steadily over subsequent years, and its retrospective reputation is largely shaped by what the Discworld became rather than what this first volume promised. It is now primarily of interest as the origin point of one of the most successful fantasy series in publishing history rather than as a standalone achievement. |
