Dragons at Crumbling Castle: And Other Tales Audiobook

Quotes

• “Though these stories lack the perfectly timed wordplay of Pratchett’s later work, they are a charming and funny sample of his early fictional imaginings…This volume will please both its intended audience and older Pratchett completists.”

  — Publishers Weekly

• • "So funny I dropped my spoon laughing!

  — King Arthur

• “Fourteen rollicking tales, most of which were written when the author was a teenager…feature characters heroic or hiss-worthy, pranks and battles aplenty, sly twists on familiar tropes, and his trademark mix of silly humor and acute moral commentary…Juvenilia from a genius.”

  — Kirkus Reviews

• “It’s a pleasure to read Pratchett’s reflections in his introduction and to see his signature warmth, wit, and intelligence light up these simple stories. Appearing throughout the book, Beech’s amusing ink-and-wash drawings perfectly capture the magic of the tales reminiscnet of Quentin Blake’s illustrations.”

  — Booklist

• “Narrator Julian Rhind-Tutt’s delivery is as varied as the diverse characters in this collection…Rhind-Tutt is outstanding with Pratchett’s witty wordplay, and his spirited descriptions will keep young listeners tuned in. Sound effects such as buzzing bees, birds, yawns, and racing cars are genuine and add to the lively atmosphere.”
