Summary
Terry Pratchett: Stroke of the Pen
Lost Stories Somewhere far, far away, when dragons still existed and the only game was black and white table tennis, a wizard cautiously entered a smoky tavern in the evil, ancient, foggy city of Morpork and crept up to the bar... Twenty early stories by one of the world's most beloved writers. These are the lost and then found stories Pratchett wrote for newspapers in the 1970s and 1980s. Although none of them take place in Discworld, there are hints of the world the author would later create. They are decorated with his unique wit, satirical wisdom and brilliant imagination. Meet the inventor Og, the first caveman who guarded fire, as he discovers the virtues and flaws of development and progress; together with the defiant spirits banished from Glavurda's Tower, besiege and visit the Ministry of Troubles; visit the market town of Blackbury, where time is warped and the occasional visitor from outer space appears; and together with the hero Kronos embark on a dangerous journey through space and time, which begins in the ancient city of Morpork...
