A delightfully funny, fantastically inventive collection of twenty newly unearthed short stories by Sir Terry Pratchett, the award-winning and bestselling author of the phenomenally successful Discworld fantasy series. This special trove is a must-have for Pratchett fans of all ages and includes a foreword by Neil Gaiman. The audiobook is narrated by a stunning cast that includes David Tennant, Claire Foy, Paterson Joseph, Indira Varma, and more!
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 young 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.
Irresistibly entertaining, A Stroke of the Pen is an essential collection from the great Terry Pratchett, a “master storyteller” (A. S. Byatt) who “defies categorization” (The Times).
The full cast of narrators includes:
• David Tennant • Claire Foy • Paterson Joseph • Stephen Briggs • Nigel Planer • Tony Robinson • Katherine Parkinson • Indira Varma • John Culshaw • Mathew Baynton • Richard Coyle • Derek Jacobi • David Jason • Steffan Rhodri • Maggie Service • Hallie Morahan • Jason Watkins • Rhianna Pratchett • Rob Wilkins • Colin Smythe • Neil Gaiman

Näissä lyhyissä tarinoissa näkyy jo se pilkahdus Terrystä ja hänen jäljittelemättömästä tyylistään, joka vuosien saatossa hioutuisi timantiksi. Kiekkomaailman hahmojen ja paikkojen esihistorialliset vastineet vilahtelevat aika-ajoin kertomuksissa. Jokaikinen tarinoista nostatti hymyn huulille ja viimeisen parissa olisin viipynyt mielelläni romaanin verran. Suosittelen nautittavaksi kevyenä antipasti-tyylisenä maistelumenuna hyvän punaviinin kera.
