Wulfstan said For NON-serious Terry Pratchett fans!. Lots of great stuff here for the devoted pTerry Fan.Mr Swimble and his bad day and the mysterious vacuum cleaner is the title story, and it is funny, phantasmagorical and lighthearted. We also have a great little pirate tale,Fourteen funny (and not so funny) gems from the talented pen of Sir Terry Pratchett.If you loved Dragons at Crumbling Castle, the stories from Terry's early days at the Bucks Free Press, you'll love this. Some are a little dated of course. In a supposedly "modern' story many of today's everyday conveniences are no where to be seen whic. Poor formatting takes away from the stories Bruce I love Terry Pratchett's stories and his imagination, even in his earlier years, brings a lot of wit and entertainment to the table. So why the low score on this one? Simply put, extremely poor formatting by the publisher. It was as if this project was slapped together in a hurry, without anyone looking to see whether or not the words were 3, 4, or even 5 times bigger than they should be. In each story there are words that are incredibly huge, font-wise, alongside the normal texted words. This did not allow me to enjoy the stories, but simply pulled me out. Wonderful Adventures Amazon Customer As always, a great read, especially for young readers (including the young at heart).Entertaining stories of sheepboys of the wild west of Wales, the tiny people of Even Moor going against giant difficulties, and the ever-popular weird stories of Blackburry, are part of this collection of wonderful adventures you are sure to enjoy.
