The Carpet People

Description

A special 50th anniversary edition of the first book Sir Terry Pratchett ever wrote! 'In the beginning, there was nothing but endless flatness. Then came the Carpet . . .' That's the old story everyone knows and loves (even if they don't really believe it). But now the Carpet is home to many different tribes and peoples and there's a new story in the making. The story of Fray, sweeping a trail of destruction across the Carpet, and two brothers, who set out on an adventure to end all adventures. A hilarious fantasy, perfect for ages seven an up, written by master storyteller Terry Pratchett.
