Subject: RE: BS: Terry Pratchett
G'day again,
I gave "Raising Steam" to my wife Pat as a Christmas gift ... so I got round to reading it shortly after Christmas!
It's good stuff ... and it's great to see that's it just straight from Terry!
(All right, there's a world of difference between Terry's rather sentient prototype locomotive on the Discworld ( ... I've been reading too much about historical development of railways in Colonial Australia ... quite important to our folksongs ...) but we don't expect the Discworld to be a pallid imitation of historical Britain!
