I'm quite fond of Pratchett's writing for younger readers, so even though these stories aren't as well crafted as his more mature writing, they definitely contain the same sort of sensibility and humor as the rest of his work.

Hercules the Tortoise: If you ever happen to have a child whose pet turtle goes missing after being let out to crawl around the yard - this is the perfect story for that moment. What an absolutely daft lot of stories, but hey, what fun. Who cares that they were all daft, they were a pleasure to read, and a great amount of comedy, went into them. The importance of curiosity, bravery, cooperation, and resourcefulness, with gentle messages about fortitude and politeness in the face of aggression. Good things generally happen to characters who are kind and polite, and bad behavior is not rewarded. Unfortunately the stories themselves aren't his best work by a long shot and I also found that they ended fairly abruptly. urn:lcp:dragonsatcrumbli0000prat:epub:b4322612-4d07-4cf8-8902-8fca7eb32032 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier dragonsatcrumbli0000prat Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t4zh5np2f Invoice 1652 Isbn 9780857534385

There are some gem lines and Pratchettisms hidden throughout, but, mostly, the stories are just "cute" and definitely aimed at the younger set. Some do have really nice messages and lessons and whatnot, to boot.

Started my 11 year old off with this book as an introduction to Terry Pratchett ! My son couldn’t put it down, A first for my son as he has ADHD . He has now read 6 Terry Pratchett books and is wanting more . En esta ocasión se trata de una inédita colección de catorce cuentos de tono más infantil que reúne a una gran cantidad de personajes altamente disparatados; como tortugas aventureras, héroes sensibles, gente minúscula, cavernícolas inventores o un papa Noel en busca de empleo, en una serie de aventuras alocadas que representan una excelente forma de introducir a jóvenes lectores en el universo de Terry Pratchett, aunque los adultos también podemos saborear los inicios del amado hombre del sombrero. Aunque todos son divertidos, amenos y bastante cortos, reconozco que los dos relatos de la Alfombra se me hicieron algo tediosos, demasiado alargados para mi gusto y comparando con el resto de la colección, aunque no por ello poco disfrutables. Del resto me quedo absolutamente con Dok El cavernícola, La Gran Mota y el que da nombre al libro, Los dragones del castillo ruinoso; son mi top 3 de la antología.

We have the name-giving dragons at Crumbling Castle, the Carpet People that later got their very own novel, Father Christmas, "normal" people trying to prove that a steam-engined car would be a good/bad idea, a heroic tortoise, a Snowman, knights, time travel and much more. Another Tale of the Carpet People: Here, the Carpet People set out on a voyage of exploration (with certain parallels to the storybook conception of Columbus' famous voyage) and 'discover' the Rug. Awonderful collection of short stories by master storyteller Sir Terry Pratchett, featuring dragons, dinosaurs, cavemen and car races! A collection of short stories that Sir Terry Pratchett wrote for a child-friendly audience whilst he was a young journalist on a local newspaper. Collected here, along with some wonderful illustrations by the Dahl-drawer, Quentin Blake, are (I assume) a book of fourteen the best ones.
