russellarbenfox's review against another edition

3.0

A sweet collection of slight, charming short stories that Pratchett wrote for newspapers very early in his career, mostly from the early 1970s. The concluding story, "The Quest for the Keys," probably gets the most attention, as it's the longest and is clearly a kind of proto-Discworld tale, but my favorites are "The Fossil Beach" and "The Haunted Steamroller." I have no idea how authentic the wry, twee, and self-mocking Englishness which comes through in these stories is, but it makes me smile all the same.
