Beschreibung
Terry Pratchetts Schriftstellerkarriere begann früh – bereits mit sechzehn Jahren schrieb er Erzählungen. In dieser Erzählungssammlung werden die besten Storys aus dieser Zeit vereint. Der Schöpfer der Scheibenwelt entführt seine Leser in turbulente Welten: Ob sich König Artus einer drallen Dracheninvasion erwehren muss, die Schildkröte Herkules sich auf eine Expedition ins Unbekannte begibt, sich zwei Königreiche auf einer Staubflocke bekriegen oder die Teppichvölker aus dem gleichnamigen Kultroman zu neuen Abenteuern aufbrechen – Pratchetts unverwechselbarer Humor und die witzigen Farbillustrationen des britischen Künstlers Mark Beech begeistern junge und junggebliebene Leser.

Kurzmeinung /Leseerlebnis
Schon früh zeigt sich Pratchetts schriftstellerisches Talent. Für Fans ein interessanter Einblick in die Schreibentwicklung. Wenn man sich nicht explizit für Terry Pratchett interessiert werden Kinder wohl die größere Freude an dem Buch haben.

As usual, Terry Pratchett's writing is amusing and lighthearted.

A fun collection of stories that you can tell were written by someone very young, but with the potential for great talent. Most of the stories in this collection are not my particular cup of tea, however, as a whole the collection works really well. It's sure to please young readers and would make a fantastic read aloud.

I did not want this book to end. The stories were fantastic and imaginative and the audio version was perfect for listening while driving. I just wish it had lasted longer!
