Worde

In the fall, Worde Horde will release a new collection by the prolific writer Orrin Grey titled “How to See Ghosts & Other Figments.”

His Discworld novel The Truth is a blistering satire on the press, as William de Worde launches Ankh-Morpork’s first daily newspaper.

“And the rumour came to the ears of William de Worde, and in a sense it stopped there, because he dutifully wrote it down.”

The first printed collection of Christmas carols was published in 1521 by William Caxton’s appropriately named apprentice and successor, Wynkyn de Worde.

The thoroughfare became synonymous with publishing from 1500 when Wynkyn de Worde established a printing press.
