Bibliophile's Corner


The Carpet People
written and illustrated
by Terry Pratchett
 
Back Cover Description:
Deep among the Carpet fronds, where the wild snargs prowl, the Munrung tribe has known peace for decades. But now the old order is unraveling, and a new story is in the making. A story of Fray, sweeping a trail of destruction; of villainous mouls, hungry for power;  and of two noble brothers on the adventure of a lifetime.
 
It's a story that will come to a terrible end - if someone doesn't do something about it. If everyone doesn't do something about it...
 
My Thoughts:
The British author, Terry Pratchett wrote the fantasy novel, Carpet People in 1971. However, after the author's works were more well-known, it was rewritten and re-released in 1992. Mr. Pratchett was quoted as saying, "This book has two authors, and they were both the same person." This extraordinary children's book is full of humor and wit and the illustrations by the talented author are just amazing. I would highly recommend The Carpet People to readers from the ages of eight to eighty!
