Summary
Terry Pratchett: Carpet People
The legendary writer's first novel. A special edition with the author's foreword, illustrations by Mark Beach and a bonus story. In the beginning there was nothing but an endless plain. Then the Carpet appeared... It's an old story that everyone knows and loves. Nevertheless, various tribes and peoples live in Tepih, and a new story is emerging there. The story of Groza, who wreaks havoc on the Carpet. It's the story of power-hungry robbers and two brothers who, when a Horcrux razes their village to the ground, embark on an adventure of adventures. This story is going to end horribly unless someone does something. Unless everyone does something. This hilarious, wise novel is the first work of the phenomenal Sir Terry Pratchett, published in 1971. Many years later, Sir Terry revised it. This edition contains the revised text of the novel and an exclusive story: the forerunner of the novel People from the Carpet, from the pen of a seventeen-year-old writer in his infancy, who will become one of the most beloved storytellers in the world.
