“I'm late in starting my Terry Pratchett journey but better late than never. Dragons at Crumbling Castle and Other Stories is a fun collection of children's stories that were written early in Pratchett's career. I think they're fun and enjoyable and I think anyone at any age would appreciate them. The illustrations are also an added bonus, though they do remind me of the style (but more detailed) used in illustrations on Roald Dahl books.”
Thumbs Up“A bunch of short stories for children written by Terry Pratchett - the introduction says that they were written in his teens and tweaked as an adult. They are humorous. They aren’t as good as his later Discworld works but they are a fun jaunt for younger readers”
