Summary
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 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.
A hilarious fantasy, co-written by Terry Pratchett, aged 17, and master storyteller Terry Pratchett, aged 43.

The story is so good 😊
It was so incredibly amazing I don’t know what to say about it. I love the carpet people I love all the characters Terry Pratchett really outdone himself with this book.

Superb! Fantasy under your feet.
Brilliant fantasy story, suitable for 8 years and up. I still thoroughly enjoy it as an adult.

Honestly the most amazing story
I loved this story! Can’t find a fault in it! Funny, action packed and a general all-rounder! I have listened to it over and over again but still haven’t got bored. I preferred this even to Terry Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching Series!!!!

my favorite book
I'm used to the tony robinson voices and pronunciation so the performance seemed a little strange to me but still very good.
This has been my favourite story since I was little, and it was amazing to hear again. Anyone and everyone should experience this book, whether reading or listening, it has so many depths its hard to do it justice in an explanation

Not one of my favourites!
I usually enjoy the children's books, this one was OK, but not, in my opinion, up there with the rest. It might have been because the names of the different 'tribes' were a bit too odd for me to remember and 'place'. Still good, but Mr Pratchett sets such a high standard that I always expect to be bowled over! This book still had its 'common sense' feel for the behaviour of the characters.

Brimful of Colourful Characters
An imaginative and fun storyline. Kept me interested. Perfect for children from 5 to 95!

A book that becomes a lovely memory
It was lovely to hear this again. I read it in my early teens and was delighted to find that it still conjured the same feelings of curiosity and wonder. I would recommend this to all young people and most adults! A simple but engaging story that teaches you how to think in new ways

Fantastic!
A fantastic listen on an 8 hour car journey! Pratchett's first book is as good now as ever! Well read by an animated reader, go unabridged and hear the entire story!
