A collection of wonderful Christmas stories from the fantastically funny Terry Pratchett. With incredible illustrations from Mark Beech, it's the perfect stocking filler! Have you ever wanted Christmas to be different? Turkey and carols, presents and crackers - they all start to feel a bit . . . samey. How about a huge exploding mince pie, a pet abominable snowman, or a very helpful partridge in a pear tree? What if Father Christmas went to work at a zoo, or caused chaos in a toy store or, was even, arrested for burglary!? Dive into the fantastically funny world of Terry Pratchett, for a festive treat like no other. These ten stories will have you laughing, gasping and crying (with laughter) - you'll never see Christmas in the same way again. 'Funny, action-packed . . . a rip-roaring read' The Sun… (plus d'informations)

This short, sweet and amusing collection of children stories from the master that is Terry Pratchett all have a Christmas or winter theme. There are some great little stories too, some are quite funny, some a little subversive and all have that bottomless depth from his imagination.

Not quite as good as his adult books, which have a darker and subtler humour, but huge fun none the less. These do show the vast scope of his imagination though and there are certain details in here that were developed much more in the Discworld series.

Great fun, easy to read and gives children that little opening into the magical worlds that he has created. Have passed it onto my son to read now. (

Terry Pratchett takes it over the top in these wryly funny, illustrated short stories. Somewhat, but not fantastically, funny, still they are amusing if spaced out over advent perhaps. (

This is a collection of entertaining and sometimes amusing short stories for children based around a Christmas Theme. (

Roald Dahl-esque short Christmas stories. An effect only enhanced by the Quentin Blake illustrations. Less cruel and more Pterry though. I've read the The Computer That Wrote to Father Christmas in a different compilation, and it's the standout here. Expecting it to be a fun read aloud with the kids in a few years' time.

Delightful holiday whimsy for young children and old adults. (
