A fun look at Pratchett's early writing. It's not where people should start with Pratchett, but if you're already a fan it's fun to see how the themes, style, and humor that make Discworld so wonderful evolved.
A great collection of proto-Pratchett stories. Funny and witty. A bit more formulaic due to the newspaper format, but well worth the read.

A collection of Terry Pratchett stories that were presumed lost but now rediscovered. I really enjoyed all of these, even the seemingly out-of-place Christmas ones. "Mr Brown’s Holiday Accident" was my favorite, a Truman Show-like peeling back of reality's curtain, while "Fossil Beach" was another tightly-written highlight. These stories from Pratchett's early career just show how much wit and creativity he had out of the gate.
I enjoyed the reading. I’ve been meaning to get into more fantasy/short stories. It was nice to read something that was ridiculous, fun and based purely on the imagination. I am interested in reading more of Pratchett’s works.
