The first half of this book was not all that good with a lot of the stories feeling fairly boring and unenjoyable. However the second half was really great and had some good stories. The Quest for the Keys was awesome and is probably one of my favorite short stories now.

A set of funny little writings. The mot fun is watching Pratchett' style develop throughout the stories, from little alternate versions of existing tales to pre-Discworld imaginings complete with ideas that would make it into the Discworld itself. All of them are focused on people and examining their diverse reactions to the world around them, events mundane and strange, and each other. A very delightful read.
