*A brand new collection of short stories from the incredible Sir Terry Pratchett!*

Imagination is an amazing thing.

It can take you to the top of the highest mountain, or down to the bottom of the deepest depths of the sea.

This where it took Doggins on his Awfully Big Adventure: a quest full of magic and flying machines. (And the world’s best joke – trust me, it’s hilarious.)

It took three young inventors to the moon (where they may or may not have left a bottle of lemonade) and a caveman on a trip to the dentist.

You can join them on these adventures, and many more, in this incredible collection of stories...

From the greatest imagination there ever was.

Written for local newspapers when Terry Pratchett was a young lad, these never previously published stories are packed full of anarchic humour and wonderful wit.

A must-have for Terry fans... and young readers looking for a fix of magic.

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett’s work was nothing short of magical, blending satire, wit, and a deep love for the absurd with stories that could make you laugh, think, and occasionally question reality. Born in 1948 in Beaconsfield, England, Pratchett's sharp humor and keen observations of human nature started early. After a series of journalistic jobs and a stint in publishing, he found his true calling as a writer of fantasy—albeit with a twist.

Pratchett’s most famous creation, the Discworld series, is a sprawling, multi-layered universe filled with quirky characters, sharp satire, and an unrelenting exploration of the complexities of society. The series—spanning over 40 novels—introduces readers to a world supported by four giant elephants standing on the back of Great A’Tuin, the giant turtle swimming through space. It’s a place where witches, wizards, and talking cats wander through settings that are both fantastical and familiar, a perfect mirror to our own world, full of politics, absurdity, and endless curiosity.

But what makes Pratchett’s writing so special is the way he combined fantasy with social commentary. Beneath the humor, there was a deep examination of life’s most profound themes: death, belief, fate, and the choices we make. The Discworld books are populated with memorable characters like the no-nonsense witch Granny Weatherwax, the beleaguered Death himself, and the stubborn, yet endearing, Commander Vimes. Each book in the series was a new chance to explore not just the world of Discworld, but our own.

Beyond Discworld, Pratchett’s influence stretched to countless short stories, children’s books, and even collaborations, as he never shied away from experimenting with new forms. His distinct voice—equal parts comedic and philosophical—was a reflection of his own journey. Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2007, Pratchett’s final years were marked by his fierce determination to keep writing, even as the disease began to take its toll. His work continues to resonate with fans around the globe, and his legacy lives on not only in his books but in the way he used humor to make us confront our own world with a sharper eye and a bit more laughter.

Pratchett once said, “There’s no point in being grown-up if you can’t be childish sometimes.” And true to that sentiment, his books remain as vibrant, as fun, and as thought-provoking as ever—proof that even the most fantastical worlds can hold a mirror to our own.

Children's Circle Stories

These short story collections contain short stories written by Terry Pratchett (using the pseudonym "Uncle Jim") for the Bucks Free Press paper's "Children's Circle" section. Most of the stories were originally published in the late 1960s, and have now been re-edited and collected.

Some of the stories found in these volumes were later extended by the author into the novels The Carpet People and Truckers.
