Far away and long ago, when dragons still existed and the only
arcade game was ping-pong in black and white, a wizard cautiously
entered a smoky tavern in the evil, ancient, foggy city of
Morpork... A truly unmissable, beautifully illustrated collection
of unearthed stories from the pen of Sir Terry Pratchett:
award-winning and bestselling author, and creator of the
phenomenally successful Discworld series. Twenty early short
stories by one of the world's best loved authors, each accompanied
by exquisite original woodcut illustrations. These are rediscovered
tales that Pratchett wrote under a pseudonym for newspapers during
the 1970s and 1980s. Whilst none are set in the Discworld, they
hint towards the world he would go on to create, containing all of
his trademark wit, satirical wisdom and fantastic imagination. Meet
Og the inventor, the first caveman to cultivate fire, as he
discovers the highs and lows of progress; haunt the Ministry of
Nuisances with the defiant evicted ghosts of Pilgarlic Towers;
visit Blackbury, a small market town with weird weather and an
otherworldly visitor; and go on a dangerous quest through time and
space with hero Kron, which begins in the ancient city of
Morpork... A STROKE OF THE PEN is a must-have collection for fans
of all ages. Praise for Terry Pratchett 'Pratchett is a master
storyteller' - A. S. Byatt, Guardian 'The Discworld novels have
always been among the most serious of comedies, the most relevant
and real of fantasies' - Independent 'Compulsively readable,
fantastically inventive, surprisingly serious exploration in story
form of just about any aspect of our world . . . There's never been
anything quite like it' - Evening Standard 'Like most true
originals, Pratchett defies categorisation' - The Times 'Pratchett
found something better than literature' - Frank Cottrell Boyce,
Guardian
