Blurb

Over the years, in addition to his wildly popular Discworld, Johnny Maxwell, and Nome books, Terry Pratchett has also written an assortment of short stories, articles, introductions, and ephemera. These have appeared in books, magazines, newspapers, anthologies, and program books, many of which are now hard to find. Here in one convenient volume, with introductory notes from Mr. Pratchett, are such elusive pieces as: The Hades Business, Once and Future, The Secret Book of the Dead, Hollywood Chickens, Turntables of the Night, Final Reward, Twenty Pence with Envelope and Seasonal Greeting, and more.

Cover

The cover illustration and design by Omar and Sheila Rayyan, featuring a crone-type witch, and something of a flying chariot of sorts made of items including a lightbulb, a music casette tape, and a pencil, a chicken riding in it. The actual illustration is better than can be described in these words.

Author's Photograph
