Sir Terry Pratchett OBE, author of one of the most successful book series of all time in Discworld is pretty bloody terrible at the shorter format, actually.This is collection of some shorts: some Discworld, some non-Discworld. It's unlikely anyone would read this without having read at least one Discworld book, but if you are thinking... Terry Pratchett can create an entire world in a single sentence, so it's no surprise that his short fiction is as fulfilling as his epic series. Reading this will give you a new sense of the shape of Pratchett's once-in-a-generation brilliance, and show you a few crazy corners of his mind you haven't imagined. A must for fans of Discworld!... A nice collection of short stories by the late Sir Terry Pratchett. Recommended.
