Wintersmith
*The third book in the incredible Tiffany Aching series. Now in a brand-new gift edition, part of the Discworld Hardback Library.*
'In every sense fantastic' Independent
Saying it with frozen roses and icebergs
Tiffany Aching leaps into a dance - and suddenly the spirit of winter is in love with her. He's showering her with snowflakes and offering her a crown of ice. Which is creepy, but also just a little bit . . . cool.
Now she's dancing to his tune. She can't change the steps.
But unless Tiffany can work out how to deal with the Wintersmith, there will never be another springtime . . .
A Hat Full of Sky
Something is coming after Tiffany. . .
Tiffany Aching is ready to begin her apprenticeship in magic, but life isn't exactly what she thought it would be.
She expects spells and magic - not chores and ill-tempered goats! Surely there must be more to witchcraft than this?
And Tiffany will find that she needs her magic more than ever, to fight off the insidious, disembodied creature that is pursuing her.
This time, neither Mistress Weatherwax (the greatest witch in the world) nor the fierce, six-inch-high Wee Free Men can protect her. In the end, it will take all of Tiffany's inner strength to save herself.

The Wee Free Men
A nightmarish danger threatens from the other side of reality . . .
Armed with only a frying pan and her common sense, young witch-to-be Tiffany Aching must defend her home against the monsters of Fairyland. Luckily she has some very unusual help: the local Nac Mac Feegle - aka the Wee Free Men - a clan of fierce, sheep-stealing, sword-wielding, six-inch-high blue men.
Together they must face headless horsemen, ferocious grimhounds, terrifying dreams come true, and ultimately the sinister Queen of the Elves herself . . .
The Time-travelling Caveman
*A brand new collection of short stories from the incredible Sir Terry Pratchett!*
Imagination is an amazing thing.
It can take you to the top of the highest mountain, or down to the bottom of the deepest depths of the sea.
This is where it took Doggins on his Awfully Big Adventure: a quest full of magic and flying machines. (And the world's best joke - trust me, it's hilarious.)
It took three young inventors to the moon (where they may or may not have left a bottle of lemonade) and a caveman on a trip to the dentist.
You can join them on these adventures, and many more, in this incredible collection of stories . . .
From the greatest imagination there ever was.
Written for local newspapers when Terry Pratchett was a young lad, these never previously published stories are packed full of anarchic humour and wonderful wit.
A must-have for Terry fans . . . and young readers looking for a fix of magic.

The Long Cosmos
2070-71. Nearly six decades after Step Day and in the Long Earth, the new Next post-human society continues to evolve.
For Joshua Valiente, now in his late sixties, it is time to take one last solo journey into the High Meggers: an adventure that turns into a disaster. Alone and facing death, his only hope of salvation lies with a group of trolls. But as Joshua confronts his mortality, the Long Earth receives a signal from the stars. A signal that is picked up by radio astronomers but also in more abstract ways - by the trolls and by the Great Traversers. Its message is simple but its implications are enormous:
JOIN US.
The super-smart Next realise that the Message contains instructions on how to develop an immense artificial intelligence but to build it they have to seek help from throughout the industrious worlds of mankind. Bit by bit, byte by byte, they assemble a computer the size of a continent - a device that will alter the Long Earth's place within the cosmos and reveal the ultimate, life-affirming goal of those who sent the Message. Its impact will be felt by and resonate with all - mankind and other species, young and old, communities and individuals - who inhabit the Long Earths...

'An astonishing novel' Financial Times

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...

There will be a reckoning . . .

Lacná kniha Terry Pratchett Portfolio (-90%)
Úžasná Zeměplocha Terryho Pratchetta, putující vesmírem na hřbetech čtyř slonů, stojících na krunýři obrovské želvy, je domovem některých nejpopulárnějších postav, jaké kdy byly vytvořeny ve světě fantastické literatury. Obyvatelé Zeměplochy jsou však skuteční, i když je jejich svět trošku... fantastický. Čtenáři mají své oblíbence a vedou zapálené debaty o tom, jak ta která postava skutečně vypadá. Tak teď jsou tady včetně bradavic (s vyjímkou Bábi Zlopočasné) a všech ostatních podrobností. Terry Pratchett a malíř Paul Kidby se spojili a společně vytvořili jejich podoby. Zachytili je jak v náčrtcích, tak na baravných tabulích, od neschopného mága Mrakoplaše po Silvera, onoho napůl polidštěného kocoura. Obázky jsou doplněny krátkými, tradičně seriózními texty.
