Terry Pratchett to have a pig named after his winning book

Sir Terry, who has been shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction three times previously, has won it for Snuff

As part of his prize, a Gloucester Old Spot pig will be named Snuff after the winning book.

Hay Festival director Peter Florence, a judge of the prize, said: 'I am thrilled he's won in this 25th anniversary year of the festival. He's consistently funny, inventive and with an acute, satirical view of the world.'

Terry Pratchett will be presented with the prize at the Telegraph Hay Festival on 6 June.
