Fun read
These are great! You see somethings that you will recognize it you read his Discworld books. It made me smile a plot and the stories were fun.

Fascinating insight into the very early work for confirmed fans.
These are 'lost' stories in as much as Pratchett wrote them under a pseudonym. These are entertaining, but also interesting, as there are definite Pratchett trade marks, and you can see the beginnings of some of the Discworld characters and settings here. More for the Pratchett fans than new readers, though.
Lovely collection of unpolished short stories from a master, you can really see where Terry was finding his voice and cadence. The research and just plain luck of finding these stories is pretty astounding as well.
This collection of some of the early works of Terry Pratchett is a delightful read. As explained in Neil Gaiman's forward to the book, these stories predate all of Pratchett's Discworld works and many were written under a pseudonym and published in various papers. Although not as sophisticated and complex as his later works, all of these stories are imaginative and very funny. I recommend this book highly.
