Praise for Wintersmith

Pratchett's one-liners, the comic dialogue of the Feegles, the satire about teenagers and the credulousness of the ordinary folk make for a characteristically entertaining mix

The Sunday Times

Terry Pratchett kicks the bejaysus out of JK Rowling . . . If you haven't read Pratchett before then give yourself a treat and buy this book

In Dublin

Exhuberant energy and humour

The Children's Bookseller

Charming in every sense of the word. Beautifully written and at times highly comic, it is an extraordinary achievement

Books for Keeps

Sure to be as popular with both children and adults as all his other books

Croydon Advertiser

Lively wit, sly wisdom and compelling narratives

Leicester Mercury

Pratchett's usual mix of uproarious comedy and deceptively serious thought
