A series of small, fun stories by Terry Pratchett. Many are Christmas or winter-themed, which was a pleasant surprise as I accidentally read it in the right season. I rate the fact that they've been collected together like this as 5 stars, but objectively speaking the stories themselves are fun and thought-provoking, but not yet on par with some of the masterpieces that Pratchett would later create. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this book, even if you haven't read Discworld books before. Seeing the "proto-Pratchett" stories was entertaining and interesting, and the stories themselves were uplifting.
