About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A hilarious fantasy, perfect for ages seven and up, by master storyteller Terry Pratchett - the first book he ever wrote!

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, and two brothers, who set out on an adventure to end all adventures.

©1971 Terry Pratchett (P)2021 Penguin Audio Fiction Humorous Fiction Literature & Fiction Science Fiction & Fantasy Fantasy Comedy Funny Witty

David Tennant is great at giving characters voices. I loved the premise of the carpet and the fray: a world within a world

excellent narration

The Carpet People is a book co-written by the young Terry Pratchett and the older Terry Pratchett. It's a small gem and, as all Pratchett books, can't be recommended enough.

Mr. Tennant's narration is absolutely brilliant! Now that Penguin Audio is re-recording Pratchett's books, they should get David Tennant to read as many of them as possible.

Great story with great narration

I am a long, long standing fan of Sir Terry Pratchett and have read this wonderful book many times, but David Tennant’s excellent reading has made it even better. Will listen to this many times again I am sure.

I wish I could give this six stars!

I have always loved Terry Pratchett, and when I heard David Tennant was reading I had no choice but to sign up!

Wonderful to listen to - the voices were just right, and Tennant clearly understood and enjoyed both the story and Pratchett's trademark humour.

Now do the whole Discworld series please Mr Tennant... or at least the Bromeliad!

Wonderful narration!
