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!

Loved everything

I absolutely enjoyed this performance and story! So much fun to listen to! Brought to life beautifully!

Great version

I loves this version, good quality voices and balanced audio. The foot notes are annoying tho

Is this fantasy or philosophy?

I love the way rationalism comes into play with ever book from this series making magic and fantasy a bit more tangible. The performance really helped to bring it to life. <3

I love the witches

What an awesome and kid friendly addition to the witch stories! Can’t wait to share with the young folks I know.

Excellent

Sir Terry’s stories are always good. I had avoided this particular series for fear that it was only for children. If that is the case, Sir Terry has again allowed me to realize the joy of childhood.

I loved it

it was a wonderful story. I'll likely listen to it again. probably Sooner then later.
an elegantly told story.

Wonderful read

This is an imaginative tale, entertaining, amusing and comical. I highly recommend it! I will continue on with the series.

As always Sir Terry Pratchett brings you into his wonderful world.

An unexpectedly fun story that carries the torch of Discworld witchcraft and goes it's own direction.

Absolutely captivating storytelling!

This is a series and particularly this book- that I return to read or listen to often when I just need a bit of joy and delight in my world. The Wee Free Men are my favorite little blue drunken security team and their interactions with Tiffany have me chuckling out loud. I adore them all! The narration and acting are superb!

Great storytelling

Love everything by Terry Pratchett and the narrator is good. THR weird breaks in narration to have someone else come in and explain something were annoying and didn’t add to the story. Wish it wasn’t that way. But overall good.
