"The Art of Discworld" is a descriptive book of the world of the Discworld as portrayed in Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" series. It showcases the art of Paul Kidby with descriptions of characters and locations by Pratchett and some details of the development of the art by Kidby himself.

The book details most major lead characters from the "Discworld" books and gives them background information, including how Pratchett visualises them and the inspiration behind them.

The cover shows the "Mona Ogg", a famous painting by Leonard of Quirm, which is a parody of the "Mona Lisa" based on Nanny Ogg.
