Recenzii
"Feature[s] characters heroic or hiss-worthy, pranks and battles aplenty, sly twists on the familiar tropes and [Pratchett’s] trademark mix of silly humor and accurate moral commentary." — 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." — Booklist
"Accompanied by Beech’s wiry Quentin Blake–like illustrations, as well as numerous typographical flourishes, this volume will please both its intended audience and older Pratchett completists." — Publishers Weekly
"Middle grade readers who enjoy Pratchett's other works or Dahl's tales are bound to enjoy this one." — School Library Journal
"Highly enjoyable fare." — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
"My son and I discovered Terry Pratchett's books together, when he was about eleven years old. He'd be reading on his own and would start to laugh, and then eagerly read the passage aloud to me—and I'd do the same to him! Pratchett's books became a shared source of delight for us back then, and they still are today." — Linda Sue Park, Newbery Medalist and New York Times bestselling author
