**Book description**
From one of the bestselling science‑fiction and fantasy authors and most beloved storytellers of all time comes a truly unmissable, beautifully illustrated collection of rediscovered short stories. It includes a never‑before‑seen new short story and features a foreword by Neil Gaiman.
Written under a pseudonym in the 1970s and 1980s, these early tales hint at the worlds Sir Terry Pratchett would later create, containing his trademark wit, satirical wisdom, and fantastic imagination. Readers will meet Og the inventor, the first caveman to cultivate fire; haunt the Ministry of Nuisances with the defiant evicted ghosts of Pilgarlic Towers; and join hero Kron on a dangerous quest through time and space, among many other adventures.
Whether you’re looking for a title for a seasoned Pratchett reader or someone just beginning, this collection is perfect for any science‑fiction and fantasy fan.
