Description
Book SynopsisA brilliant collection of short stories and short form fiction from the pen of Sir Terry Pratchett, one of the world''s best-loved authors.
''Clever, neatly constructed and funny Pratchett is one of the great comic writers and storytellers of our time'' Guardian
A Blink of the Screen charts the course of Pratchett''s long writing career: from his schooldays through to his first writing job on the Bucks Free Press; to the origins of his debut novel, The Carpet People; and on again to the dizzy mastery of the Discworld series.
Here are characters both familiar and yet to be discovered; abandoned worlds and others still expanding; adventure, chickens, death, disco and, actually, some quite disturbing ideas about Christmas, all of it shot through with his inimitable brand of humour.
With an introduction by Booker Prize-winning author A.S. Byatt and drawings by the author himself, this is a book to treasure.
