A hilarious fantasy, perfect for ages seven and up, by master storyteller Terry Pratchett - the first book he ever wrote!


'In the beginning, there was nothing but endless flatness. Then came the Carpet . . .'

That's the old story everyone knows and loves (even if they don't really believe it). But now the Carpet is home to many different tribes and peoples and there's a new story in the making.

The story of Fray, sweeping a trail of destruction across the Carpet, and two brothers, who set out on an adventure to end all adventures.

© Terry Pratchett 1971 (P) Penguin Audio 2021

Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.

Reviews

Only a writer with a masterstroke of imagination could place an entire empire of goodies and baddies within the fronds of a carpet Carpets are never the same once you've read this . . . Terry Pratchett's carpet empire is an enchanting and insightful commentary on how different people in any worlds interact. For readers who are attracted to epic but not quite ready for the weightiness of Tolkien, this is a perfect entrée; for those who have loved or will love Pratchett, it’s simply a must read. The perfect starting place for young readers . . . seasoned Pratchett fans will just revel in his wit, his subversion of tropes and his sense of humanity. A unique piece of high fantasy . . . Now very witty and politically aware in its revised version with the new ending Expand reviews
