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...
