A Stroke Of The Pen by Terry Pratchett
In a time when dragons roamed and the only arcade game was a simple ping-pong, a wizard steps into a smoky tavern in the ancient city of Morpork. This collection brings together twenty early short stories by Terry Pratchett, each accompanied by unique woodcut illustrations. These tales, originally written under a pseudonym for newspapers in the 1970s and 1980s, showcase Pratchett's signature humor and imaginative storytelling. Meet Og, the caveman who first harnessed fire, and explore the consequences of his discovery. Join the ghosts of Pilgarlic Towers as they haunt the Ministry of Nuisances. Visit the peculiar town of Blackbury, where strange weather and an otherworldly visitor stir things up. Embark on a thrilling journey through time and space with the hero Kron, starting in the foggy streets of Morpork. Each story offers a glimpse into the creative mind of Pratchett, hinting at the worlds he would later bring to life.
