The Carpet People

Written by Terry Pratchett

Narrated by Richard Mitchley

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. The story of power-hungry mouls - and of two Munrung brothers, who set out on an adventure to end all adventures when their village is flattened.

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...

A hilarious fantasy, co-written by Terry Pratchett, aged seventeen, and master storyteller, Terry Pratchett, aged forty-three.

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett (1948–2015) was the acclaimed creator of the globally revered Discworld series.

His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.

Reviews for The Carpet People

[besina_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Originally penned by Pratchett when he was 17, he re-worked the story and re-released the book again at 43. While not one of Pratchett's all-time bests, it is one of his earliest works, and quite a worthy effort. The story follows the various peoples and things that dwell amongst the carpet fibers in a fresh look at the traditional fantasy novel.
