Enjoyed these stories, recognised some of them from their later forms, certainly glad that I've read them, but I don't think I would rush to read them again, despite being a Terry fan since childhood. Their provenance is of course really interesting, especially with Terry having so many outstanding works destroyed upon passing. These are old works, not works in progress. Terry's voice comes through loud and clear, and you can tell these are works that his voice was developing in. Well worth a read if you get chance, but you don't need to have read them.

Just dipping my toe into the ocean of Pratchett. Some of the stories felt clever while others were frustratingly silly. I didn't care for the Blackbury town focused stories, the more magical short stories felt more fun to me. Not super surprised to find a high amount of meta in the story about getting lost in the scenery en route to a holiday destination (Mr. Brown's Holiday Accident). Pilgarlic Towers & Quest for the Keys were probably my favorites from the lot.
The famous narrators added flavor each story. I'm biased to have most enjoyed David Tennant. Everyone did a great job. Being that I favored the more magical chapters, I think I may jump into some Disc World novels soon.
