It turns out Terry Pratchett had hidden more short stories under previously unknown pseudonyms, and they were found by accident. This collection is a result of that work.
This is for the Pratchett fan or scholar - someone who knows his writing and canon intimately and can really appreciate the stories. I’m not quite a die-hard Pratchett fan (still working my way through the Discworld, for example) but I still enjoyed these, though again, I think I’d have gotten more out of it with stronger base knowledge. That said, this is a nice collection and possibly a good intro to how his writing has evolved.
