Der 13-jährigen Tiffany Weh, Junghexe-in-Ausbildung, fällt es schwer, auf die warnenden Worte der Erwachsenen zu hören. Auf einem Fest zum Winterbeginn zieht sie die Aufmerksamkeit des Winterschmieds, der Personifikation des Winters, auf sich. Der hält Tiffany für den Sommer und verliebt sich sofort. Von da an verfolgt der Winterschmied sie und überschüttet sie mit Geschenken, bis schließlich das ganze Land unter einer dicken Schneedecke verschwindet. Nun liegt es an Tiffany, den Sommer zu finden und das Land zu retten. 

'People didn't seem to be able to remember what it was like with the elves around. Life was certainly more interesting then, but usually because it was shorter. And it was more colourful, if you liked the colour of blood . . .'

On Midsummer Night, dreams are especially powerful. So powerful, in fact, that they can cause the walls between realities to come crashing down. And some things you really don't want to break through.

The witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick return home to discover that elves have invaded Lancre....

Time is a resource. Everyone knows it has to be managed.

And on Discworld that is the job of the Monks of History, who store it and pump it from the places where it's wasted (like underwater - how much time does a codfish need?) to places like cities, where there's never enough time.

But the construction of the world's first truly accurate clock starts a race against, well, time for Lu Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd. Because it will stop time. And that will only be the start of everyone's...

Maurice, a streetwise tomcat, has the perfect money-making scam. Everyone knows the stories about rats and pipers, and Maurice has a stupid-looking kid with a pipe, and his very own plague of rats -- strangely educated rats.

But in Bad Blintz, the little con suddenly goes down the drain. For someone there is playing a different tune and now the rats must learn a new word.

EVIL.

It's not a game any more. It's a rat-eat-rat world. And that might only be the start.

Kurzgeschichten des Kultautors

Vom Erfinder der Scheibenwelt und dem Großmeister der Phantastik Terry Pratchett stammen diese bisher unveröffentlichten Kurzgeschichten aus den Anfängen seines Schaffens. Ursprünglich für Tageszeitungen verfasst, erscheinen diese nun erstmals gebündelt in Buchform.

Vor langer Zeit, als der erste Höhlenmensch das Feuer erfand und Drachen noch existierten, also irgendwann in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren, veröffentlichte Kultautor Sir Terry Pratchett Kurzgeschichten unter Pseudonym. Dank mühevoller Archivarbeit wurden mehr...

'Destiny is important, see, but people go wrong when they think it controls them. It's the other way around.'

Three witches gathered on a lonely heath. A king cruelly murdered, his throne usurped by his ambitious cousin. A child heir and the royal crown, both missing.

Witches don't have these kinds of leadership problems themselves - in fact, they don't have leaders.

Granny Weatherwax is the most highly regarded of the leaders they don't have. But even she finds that meddling in royal politics is a lot more complicated than certain playwrights would have you...
