Very fun to see Pratchett’s writing in the early days! Noticed a few things that trickled their way into Discworld too!!

I know this is early work, but I could easily skip everything except the proper fantasy (anything with dragons or wizards wins lol).

This collection is very early Terry Pratchett and as such is very uneven. Parts of it are genius, wry and funny., other parts not so much. The last longest story is a send-up of the sword and sorcery hero trope and has great moments. As a Pratchett devotee I fully enjoyed these stories Far from perfect but satisfying fun writing that will both intrigue and delight the Pratchett Fan.

Really fun short stories. Wonderful to get more from Terry Pratchett, my most re-read author.
