The Shepherd's Crown

By: Terry Pratchett

Narrated by: Stephen Briggs

Fantasy grandmaster Sir Terry Pratchett's final Discworld novel, and the fifth to feature the witch Tiffany Aching.

A SHIVERING OF WORLDS

Deep in the Chalk, something is stirring. The owls and the foxes can sense it, and Tiffany Aching feels it in her boots. An old enemy is gathering strength. This is a time of endings and beginnings, old friends and new, a blurring of edges and a shifting of power. Now Tiffany stands between the light and the dark, the good and the bad.

As the fairy horde prepares for invasion, Tiffany must summon all the witches to stand with her. To protect the land. Her land.

There will be a reckoning. . . .

THE FINAL DISCWORLD NOVEL

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!

Impossibly fine book!

They can pull the curtains down on Sir Terry's brilliant mind and, yes, eventually close his Book Of Days, but with this final work he takes hold and slams the lid down with a resounding thumping bang.
All down the decades that I've whiled away with his stories I've closed the covers on the latest masterpiece, wondering to myself, "How can he make each book more hilariously entertaining and insightful than the last?"
Good night, Sir Terry Pratchett, and thank you for enriching my life.
Scrivvens , what a Scrivener!

Goodby Terry! - Thank you for sharing!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Been tried many times and can't touch the way it is written.

Any additional comments?

Thank you for all you write - you will be missed.

Plenty fine

I've just finished listening to this a second time. It is a fine book period. It stands up to a second listen, and rereading it at the end of the series makes it better.


It’s plenty fine as it is. And it has the distinction of being Pratchett’s last book. The editor observed that if the author hadn’t died that the book would have been longer and more polished. Not his best, but a fine work none the less.

The End

This is a marvelous story and a sad but beautiful way to remember all the great stories by Mr. Pratchett. Thank you.

Sir Terry's swan song

This is a melancholy farewell to Terry Pratchett's Granny Weatherwax and Tiffany Aching. Perhaps not his best work, and far too short (almost literally pried from his cold dead hands.

We have lost a master, and he'll be sorely missed.
