In the four decades since his first book appeared in print, Terry Pratchett has become one of the world's best-selling and 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 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 phenomenally successful '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, illustrations by the late Josh Kirby and drawings by the author himself, this is a book to treasure.
