This gravitas, together with the crackling energy of his ideas and style and his delicious subversion of traditional fairytales, makes A hat Full of Sky a perfect read.

The story comes with all of Pratchett's unique comic inimitability and moves with page-turning insistence to its surprising, satisfying conclusion.
