Editorial reviews

Why we think it's Essential: Interpreting an imagination as outrageous (and beloved) as Terry Pratchett's poses interesting challenges: What exactly does a Feegle sound like? Luckily, narrator Stephen Briggs is up to the task, and gives voice to witch-in-training Tiffany Aching and the wildly magical characters of Pratchett's third young adult novel with delight, panache, and a bit of playful abandon. Listeners have called Brigg's rendition of Rob Anybody his "crowning achievement". — Ed Walloga

Publisher's summary

Tiffany Aching, the boldest heroine ever to swing a frying pan against the forces of evil, is beginning her apprenticeship in magic. She expects to work hard, learn spells, and become a witch. She doesn't expect to find herself doing chores, caring for the careless, and trying to outthink an ill-tempered nanny goat. There must be more to witchcraft than this!

But as Tiffany pursues her calling, an insidious, disembodied creature pursues Tiffany. When it strikes, neither Mistress Weatherwax (the greatest witch in the world) nor the six-inch-high Wee Free Men (the greatest thieves in the world) can save her.

Outrageous comedy blends with pulse-racing suspense in this compelling sequel to The Wee Free Men.

©2004 Terry Pratchett (P)2004 HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.

Critic reviews

"Compelling and hilarious. Stephen Briggs's superb narration brings to life the trials, setbacks, and triumphs of Tiffany, as well as Pratchett's trademark humor. Briggs's performance is finely tuned and gives clear nuance to the characters." (AudioFile)

accents and insight galor

the amount of insight into human character and the accents used to give the character's life are simply worth the money.

Tiffany Aching is his best series.

Stephen Briggs is delightful, and Terry Pratchett is at his usual best in making you want to laugh, think, and cry all at the same time. It's practically therapeutic.

A hat full of sky

A little darker and a little more witchy and I still think nigel planet is the only person who should 'do' death but it was great

It said this was optional...

Terry Pratchett was a genius. I hope my daughter grows up to be as strong as Land-Under-Wave.

Enjoyed it all. Read Wee Free Men first.

Hat Full of Sky continues the wry humor and wise observations about humanity and the world from Wee Free Men.

The narration is excellent.

A wonderful Discworld story for Nybody of any age.

Terry Pratchett was, and still is one of the most creative writers of the 20th century and, so far, the 21st century. His stories are full of deep insights hidden in humor about humans, societies, culture, and our ridiculous tendencies to try to be superior to anybody else.
