by Terry Pratchett
4.5 stars. Stories about evenly split around there. 5 stories include the Dickensian tale of a Nightmare Christmas and the one about Granny Weatherwax. And the Chaucerian tale of hitchikers on the road to Glastonbury told in verse that's thrillingly reminiscent of Middle English rhythms, though very...

Ok not everything, but most of the short stories were absolutely wonderful and I enjoyed them. Some I skipped though, mostly because they just didn't interest me that much. I can s...
Some good, some mediocre stories. It was interesting to see some ideas that evolved into novels. Probably best for the Terry Pratchett fan or completest, but not for the newbies.
