About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Imagine that all around you, hidden from sight, there are thousands of tiny people.
They are four inches tall, brave, stubborn and resourceful.
They are the nomes.

The nomes in this story live under the floorboards of a large Department Store and have never been Outside. In fact, they don't even believe in Outside. But new nomes arrive, from - where else? - and they bring with them terrifying news: the Store is closing down and Everything Must Go . . .

The fantastically funny first book of the nomes, from the author of the bestselling Discworld series.

One of the best stories for people of all ages, full of humour and philosophy, excitement and courage. Stephen Briggs narrates beautifully, with a rich variety of perfectly attuned characters. Of course Terry Pritchett is the master of plot and language, as always. The trilogy that this book begins would make a good starting point for all of Sir Terry’s work or as a starting point to all the world’s literature.

Brilliant!

Great story, slightly off beat humour for kids and adults alike. Enjoy listening in the car with the children.

A great story

Accessible to both children and adults and read beautifully by Stephen Briggs, this story kept me captivated. The deeper and darker points about human nature that Terry Pratchett makes in his later Discworld novels are only lightly touched on here; enough to make the novice Pratchett listener start thinking and noticing these truths in the world around themselves. The story ends on a note that makes me want to know what happens next.

A story for all ages

I loved the descriptive way Mr Pratchett tells a story. I found myself totally caught up in the story. When one accepts the book was written for the young I found myself waiting for the annoying interruptions to disappear so that I could pick up where I left off.
At seventy eight years young I just loved the book and indeed I will be purchasing all three of the series.

An exciting adventure for the young and equally young at heart.
