By the beloved and bestselling grandmaster of fantasy, Sir Terry Pratchett, this is the first in a series of Discworld novels starring the young witch Tiffany Aching.

A nightmarish danger threatens from the other side of reality. . . .

Armed with only a frying pan and her common sense, young witch-to-be Tiffany Aching must defend her home against the monsters of Fairyland. Luckily she has some very unusual help: the local Nac Mac Feegle—aka the Wee Free Men—a clan of fierce, sheep-stealing, sword-wielding, six-inch-high blue men.

Together they must face headless horsemen, ferocious grimhounds, terrifying dreams come true, and ultimately the sinister Queen of the Elves herself. . . .

The five funny and fabulous Tiffany Aching adventures are:

• The Wee Free Men
• A Hat Full of Sky
• Wintersmith
• I Shall Wear Midnight
• The Shepherd’s Crown

Tiffany’s mentors, Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, star in the novels Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad, Lords and Ladies, Maskerade, and Carpe Jugulum.

And don’t miss Terry Pratchett’s hilarious and wise Discworld novel The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, winner of the Carnegie Medal!

Voices make the book

While I love reading Pratchert, the voices in this audio book add so much more to the enjoyment! The reader does English, bored-English, and Scottish voices impeccably!

Great Comedy

The Author and Reader come together in this laugh out loud book. I have listened to it twice and laughed even more on the second reading. The story moves quickly and never drags. Many of the Disk World friends from other books play a part in this story. The title characters in the book absouloutly make this book a jem and the way the dialogue is read is priceless. Overall a very enjoyable read and a solid 5 stars

Terry's Best Series

A fantastic series, wonderful for both kids and adults. Frankly, I don't get tired of listening to these audiobooks. Well worth buying all three books.

good story

good story. most memorable moment: when the girl becomes the helda. when i read the story I. could feel her worry.

A Lost gem for YA

Its almost impossible now days to find a cerebral young adult novel. Most are just full of mythology and platitudes. This was very refreshing.
