Although written for younger readers any adult will appreciate the wry humour as Terry Pratchett follows the adventures of the gnomes as they try to find a home in the (to them) giant world of the humans.
Perfect Pratchet!
Perfect Pratchet!
Format:Hardcover
Unknown to the humans, they share the Earth with another intelligent race, the nomes. The reason they don't know about the nomes is that they are four inches tall, and live at a pace ten times that of humans. This is the story of Masklin, and other heroic nomes who lead their people out of the dangerous world of humans, in search of their home. In the course of this story the overcome great obstacles, all with wit and humor.
This book is actually a collection of three book: Truckers, Diggers and Wings. The stories showcase Terry Pratchett's wit and humor, his ability to examine the human experience from a very different viewpoint. The action is gripping, and the humor outrageous. I highly recommend this book.
Format:Hardcover
It's 1998 and I am a first year lsot in the library. Then I stumble across a battered copy of Truckers. This book is great. The idea of naming the Tribes after Store departments, Pure inspiration. Terry Pratchett takes a well known myth, Gnomes, and gives it a contempary feel by making them aliens. He also gives the characters real problems so these tiny little creatures seem even more real.These books deserve to be made into a film.
