Nearly fifty years ago, a legend was born: cynical, not afraid of owls or cats, able to look good in mole skin and tweed...it’s RINCEMANGLE, the Gnome of Even Moor!

Guest Andy Matthews joins us for this early, proto-Truckers #TerryPratchett story in #Pratchat64, “GNOME Terry Pratchett”.

Our next episode is #Pratchat64, and we’ll be discussing “Rincemangle, the Gnome of Even Moor” with guest comedian Andy Matthews.

It’s an early short story from #Pratchett’s pre-#Discworld career writing for children at the Bucks Free Press.

We’ll also talk about the story’s influence on his later work, especially Rincewind the wizzard, and the Bromeliad trilogy.
