A Stroke of the Pen: The Lost Stories by Terry PratchettMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sir Terry Pratchett has been dead for 8 years and many readers have missed his prose and zany characters. What many readers are unaware of (as was I), Pratchett often wrote under pseudonyms for newspapers in the 1970s and 1980s. Dedicated fans spent untold hours searching newspaper archives for these lost stories. Included in this volume are twenty stories that show Pratchett as he was honing his craft and discovering who he was as an author. Just like most short story collections, some stories are better than others, but overall the experience was fun … and some tales will give readers a glimpse into the worlds that Pratchett eventually created.
