Blink of the Screen

A 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.
