	'''''A Stroke of the Pen''''' is a collection of “lost” stories written by Pratchett for the ''Western Daily Press'' and ''Bucks Free Press'' newspapers between 1970 and 1984, under the pseudonyms Patrick Kearns and Uncle Jim. A few are revisions of stories which Pratchett had previously published, and which he later revised from the original version to be collected in {{DCC}}, {{TWVC}}, {{FCFB}} or {{TTTC}}. The book features a foreword by [[Neil Gaiman]] and an introduction by [[Colin Smythe]], plus an account by fans Pat and Jan Harkin of the research they did looking for the final serialised story, “The Quest for the Keys”, which uncovered many of the others.

			In May 2024 it was announced that another story, “Arnold, the Bominable Snowman”, had been found and would be added to the paperback edition of the book. It will also be published online for fans who had already bought the hardcover or trade paperback edition. Penguin Books also ran a drawing competition for fans to submit their own illustrations of Arnold, with the winners in children’s and adult categories being published in the book alongside the story.
