Terry Pratchett / Michael Fenton Stevens Stephen Briggs
In the four decades since his first book appeared in print Terry Pratchett has become one of the world's best-loved authors. Here for the first time are his short stories and other short-form fiction collected into one volume. A Blink of the Screen charts the course of Pratchett's writing career: from his schooldays through to his first writing job on the Bucks Free Press and the origins of his debut novel The Carpet People; and on again to the phenomenally successful Discworld series. Here are characters both familiar and undiscovered; abandoned worlds and others still expanding; adventure chickens death disco and actually some quite disturbing ideas about Christmas all of it shot through with Terry's inimitable brand of humour.
