    Don’t know if it’s been posted before, but on the PTerry page on facebook is this message:
    Story time with Uncle Jim

    Between the 8th of October 1965 and the 17th of July 1970, acclaimed fantasy author Terry Pratchett wrote stories for the Bucks Free Press newspaper which were published weekly, sometimes in episodic format. They were printed in the Children’s Circle section, written under the pseudonym of Uncle Jim. His style of writing and humour are easily recognisable in places. In total, Terry wrote about 250 episodes for the Children’s Circle section of the Bucks Free Press.
    These stories have never before been accessible outside of the original issues of the newspapers they were printed in, and now, due to a collaboration between the Bucks Free Press and the Friends of High Wycombe Libraries, this website will make all of these stories available. This is sure to be an exciting opportunity for enthusiasts to see some of Terry Pratchett’s early works.

    I got an email from Bucks Free Press about this last week, and have now inserted a piece in the News section on it. But the news of the imminent publication of the new Tiffany Aching story “I Shall Wear Midnight” took precedence.

    I took a look at one of the pieces – The Steam Operated House – definitely shades of Bloody Stupid Johnson there!

    Skull ring!
