DESCRIPTION:
"Exceeded my expectations" according to Susan Y.. Since I got a used library copy, I was kind of hoping to get the original version instead of the re-written one, but it was the newer one. I have no idea what the difference is, but this was a really good book. My kids just love the idea of it, so it is shortly going to be our bedtime story, with a chapter a night.I love all of Pratchett's work that I have read, with the first Discworld novel being my least favorite. I highly recommend The Carpet People to all Pratchett fans and Fantasy/fiction readers.. A Microscape in a Literary World I knew this was one of Sir Pterry's earliest books, so I didn't expect the level of sophistication that his later stories show. The story is cute and has moments of brilliance - not the least of which is trying to imagine an entire world existing in a carpet. Somehow, that's a concept that's even harder to wrap my head around than the idea of a flat world balanced on the backs of A Microscape in a Literary World N.

I have often seen it in lists of work by Terry Pratchett, but was never able to find out anything about it. It's not as long or involved as a Disc World novel, but it has some ideas that are inventive and fun. It spoke about a character swearing, but didn't give us the details. I liked that.
