Fantasy author Terry Pratchett has been named the ‘evergreen’ king in The Bookseller’s first-ever register of titles that have never fallen out of the top 5,000 chart. Only 12 books, out of the more than 1.8 million titles that Nielsen BookScan are on the ‘evergreen’ chart.
Pratchett has three of his early Discworld novels in the selection: The Colour of Magic, Mort and The Light Fantastic. Sebastian Faulks’ Birdsong came out top.
JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit also made the prestigious list.
