About this listen

 In the beginning, there was nothing but endless flatness. Then came the Carpet. That's the old story everyone knows and loves (even if they don't really believe it).

But now the Carpet is home to many different tribes and peoples, and there's a new story in the making: the story of Fray, sweeping a trail of destruction across the Carpet, the story of power-hungry mouls, and the story of two Munrung brothers, who set out on an adventure to end all adventures when their village is flattened. It's a story that will come to a terrible end, if someone doesn't do something about it...if everyone doesn't do something about it.

Critic reviews

"Only a writer with a masterstroke of imagination could place an entire empire of goodies and baddies within the fronds of a carpet." ( Daily Mail)

In the style of discworld and maybe for kids, but when it comes to Terry Pratchett read by Tony Robinson, you have a team hard to beat.
The story is fun, imaginative, and the charectors are almost believable.
Very sorry when I came to the end.

Fun

Classic Pratchett. Story ends very quickly! No one brings these books to life like Tony Robinson. Shame they’re abridged!

Pratchett and Robinson dream team
