    I haven't read a great deal of fantasy books, but I have read every single Terry Pratchett book and I adore them all. He's got to be my favourite author by a country mile.

    I would love to say something suitably cultured and refined, like some Beethoven or some Sibelius or something. Maybe some early Morely madrigals, or some Scarlatti harpsichord sonatas.

    As many people know, I have twin brothers (somewhere in the 11 of us).

    They're proper pranksters, and they spent all of their school life confusing teachers (they're identical, of course).

    I quite like spiders. However, I do teach a 16 year-old lad who's petrified of them and just can't move if he sees one. I save him from them on a regular basis.
