The Carpet is home to different tribes: there's Fray, who sweeps a trail of destruction, and two Munrung brothers, who set out on an adventure when their village is flattened. The story will come to a terrible end if someone doesn't do something about it.

The Carpet People is the first story Terry Pratchett published, and he was only seventeen years old. Some years ago, after he had written a lot more books, he took another look at this book and revised it. I read the revised edition.
The Carpet People is the story of a group of tiny people live in the carpet and who have had their village destroyed by the mysterious natural force of Fray (also known as sweeping). They wander quite a bit and have a number of battles and meet another group of people who are able to know the future and wander some more. Along the way, in classic Terry Pratchett style, the people have clever and silly philosophical discussions. The book is great fun.
