A Hat Full of Sky

“The great Terry Pratchett, whose wit is metaphysical, who creates an energetic and lively secondary world, who has a multifarious genius for strong parody as opposed to derivative manipulation of past motifs, who deals with death with startling originality. Who writes amazing sentences.”—A.S. Byatt in The New York Times“A passion for language, wordplay and puns bursts from the pages.”—Daily Telegraph "A great Pratchett strength is the sense that if the jokes were dropped there would still bea good, engaging fantasy thriller here." --The Independent"Fantastically inventive and humorous fantasy adventure. Fans will be sky high." --The Sunday Times"Pratchett's ear for dialogue is superb... His deep feeling for landscape, animals, kindness and courage make his adventures deeply satisfying as well as clever."--Amanda Craig, The Times
