A must-have collection of shorter fiction from the pen of Sir Terry Pratchett, award-winning and bestselling author of the phenomenally successful Discworld novels.
A brilliant collection of short stories and short-form fiction from the pen of one of the world's best-loved authors. A Blink of the Screen charts the course of Pratchett's long writing career: from his school days 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 humor.
With an introduction by Booker Prize-winning author A.S. Byatt, illustrations by the late Josh Kirby, and drawings by the author himself, this is a book to treasure.
