My applause and appreciation go out to all the souls that were initially curious, then resourceful, then spent much of their time digging through archives to bring previously lost stories by Sir Pratchett to the wider audience.
A delightful collection of perfect snack-sized stories from the whimsy of Pratchett to fill my short lunch breaks

The only book I've read by Terry Pratchett was co-written with Neil Gaiman (Good Omens). This is a nice collection with some light-hearted stories.

I adore how this book came to be. The idea that there could be stories we have not yet uncovered penned by authors who are no longer with us is comfortingly uplifting. I wish I had known about Sir Terry Pratchett's work before his passing, but I'm glad to be able to read and appreciate his talents now.
This was my first time reading fictional pieces by Sir Pratchett. I have in the past read A Slip of the Keyboard and Shaking Hands with Death; both I would highly recommend. I don't know who started writing first, Sir Pratchett or Douglas Adams, but their style of writing and storytelling ring so familiar to each other. This is by no means an accusation of style stealing, by the way. I adore both authors and their books. The humour is the kind I was raised with: ludicrous, satirical, but serious at the same time.
Some of my favourite stories from this collection were The Fossil Beach, Dragon Quest, The Blackbury Thing and of course The Quest for the Keys. But every story has something unique going for it, and I'm so glad that they were uncovered as works of Sir Pratchett.
It's unfortunate about the foreword from Neil Gaiman, but we can't have it all.
