From Barnes & NobleThe man who would become Sir Terry Pratchett was just a struggling journalist when he casually told a publisher who he was interviewing that he had a manuscript he had written and illustrated during his teenage years. That manuscript became The Carpet People, his first published book. Two decades later, he reissued this hilarious and wildly imagined story in a revised edition. Now Glurk, Snibril, and the rest of the carpet dweller come wonderfully alive in a new holiday incarnation. Editor's recommendation. (P.S. This book has been described as "Lord of the Rings on a rug.")

"In the beginning... there was nothing but endless flatness. Then came the Carpet." Thus, in 1971, began one of the most celebrated careers in the history of fantasy literature.
