Title: Father Christmas' fake beard
Author: Terry Pratchett
Language: English
Type: children's novellas
Genre: humour
1st release: 1968-89, collected 2017
Publisher: Doubleday
Length: 11 novellas, 175 pages total

(i think i got this one from the import bookstore?)
11 novellas, more or less about Christmas folklore, or at least midwinter shenanigans
Most of it was funny, yeah: it's pTerry.
Some ideas were later reused on the Disc?
But it was a younger pTerry, and for younger readers, so it's not as polished as the Disc.
And personally I'm not very fond of Christmas folklore so it wasn't *hilarious* to me.

C'est une jolie histoire quand même... mais la narration est pénible. Oui ok c'est normal d'être autocentrée à trois ans, mais cumulé avec l'attitude de l'auteure adulte, not seeing you beating the autism allegations.
Cute story, gorgeous animation, nerve wracking narration. I'm so fed up with Amélie Nothomb as an author, and yeah the character based on her is so fucking self-centered and haughty!! there's being a child and not knowing better, and being outright unsufferable.

It may not be a great Pixar but it's not a bad movie; it's good summer fun. I do wonder what it looked like before the heavy retooling though?
