What the critics say

Pratchett's one-liners, the comic dialogue of the Feegles, the satire about teenagers and the credulousness of the ordinary folk make for a characteristically entertaining mix.
- Sunday Times

Terry Pratchett kicks the bejaysus out of JK Rowling...If you haven't read Pratchett before then give yourself a treat and buy this book.

Exhuberant energy and humour...
- Children's Bookseller

...charming in every sense of the word. Beautifully written and at times highly comic, it is an extraordinary achievement...
- Books for Keeps

Wintersmith is not written and does not read as a 'young adult' book, and succeeds all the more for that. Very enjoyable.
