Requests:  0 Summary:  "These rediscovered tales were written by Terry Pratchett under a pseudonym for British newspapers during the 1970s and 1980s. The stories have never been attributed to him until now, and might never have been found-were it not for the efforts of a few dedicated fans. As Neil Gaiman writes in his introduction, "through all of these stories we watch Terry Pratchett becoming Terry Pratchett." Though none of the short works are set in the Discworld, all are infused with Pratchett's trademark wit, satirical wisdom, and brilliant imagination, hinting at the magical universe he would go on to create. Meet Og the inventor, the first caveman to cultivate fire, as he discovers the highs and lows of progress; haunt the Ministry of Nuisances with the defiant evicted ghosts of Pilgarlic Towers; visit Blackbury, a small market town with weird weather and an otherworldly visitor; and embark on a dangerous quest through time and space with hero Kron, which begins in the ancient city of Morpork . . . A Stroke of the Pen is an essential collection from the late, great Sir Terry Pratchett, a "master storyteller" (A. S. Byatt) who "defies categorization" (The Times); a writer whose "novels have always been among the most serious of comedies, the most relevant and real of fantasies" (Independent UK)"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Pratchett Checked out 06/20/2024 Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult New Books Pratchett Checked out 07/03/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Pratchett Checked out 06/29/2024 Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Fiction Pratchett Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult New Books Pratchett Checked out 06/29/2024 Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Adult New Books Pratchett Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
