This was an absolute delight to read!
I read this book in tandem with the *excellent* audiobook- it was a fully immersive charming experience. The Narrator does a fantastic job with these stories and the added sound effects added with the illustrations in the book make this a magical reading adventure.
I'm a big fan of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books, and this collection of stories was no different. My favorite in them are the ones focused on Father Christmas, particularly "The computer who wrote to Father Christmas" Which reminded me very much of HEX and the Hogfather, and also "Judgement Day for Father Christmas" Which made me actually laugh out loud on several occasions.
This is one I'll revisit a lot. I highly recommend!
