Here for the first time are his short stories and other short-form fiction collected into one volume. \u003cb\u003eA Blink of the Screen\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003echarts the course of Pratchett's long writing career: from his schooldays through to his first writing job on the \u003ci\u003eBucks Free Press\u003c\/i\u003e, and the origins of his debut novel, \u003cb\u003eThe Carpet People\u003c\/b\u003e; and on again to the dizzy mastery of the phenomenally successful Discworld series. \u003cp\u003eHere are characters both familiar and yet to be discovered; abandoned worlds and others still expanding; adventure, chickens, death, disco and, actually, some quite disturbing ideas about Christmas, all of it shot through with Terry's inimitable brand of humour. With an introduction by Booker Prize-winning author A.S. Byatt, illustrations by the late Josh Kirby and drawings by the author himself, this is a book to treasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RANDOM HOUSE UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040582074615,"sku":"9781804995877","price":280.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/3973\/5543\/files\/17973073482830.jpg?v=1787783566","url":"https:\/\/www.2027textbooks.co.za\/products\/blink-of-the-screen-9781804995877","provider":"2027Textbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
