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.'
