  • Author: Terry Pratchett
  • Description:
    Nine year old Tiffany is in trouble she's armed only with a frying pan, her Grandma's dubious book of magic and, strangest of all, tiny blue men in kilts, the Wee Free men, who have come looking for a new hag. From the Back Cover 'Crivens! Whut aboot us, yo daftie!' There's trouble on the Aching farm - nightmares spreading down from the hills. And Tiffany Aching's little brother has been stolen away. To get him back, Tiffany has a weapon (a frying pan), her granny's magic book (well, Diseases of the Sheep) - and the Nac Mac Feegle, the Wee Free Men, the fightin' thievin', tiny blue-skinned pictsies who were thrown out of Fairyland for being Drunk and Disorderly ... Set on the Discworld(r), this wise, witty and wonderfully inventive adventure comes from the author The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, winner of the 2002 Carnegie Medal. 'Plenty to laugh at here. Not least Pratchett's ability to put a 90 degree spin on the familiar' The Times 'A clear example of a comic fantasy classic and well ... Crivens! It deserves t'sell a millyun copies' Sunday Express About the Author Terry Pratchett:Terry Pratchett is one of the most popular authors writing today. He lives behind a keyboard in Wiltshire and says he 'doesn't want to get a life, because it feels as though he's trying to lead three already'. He was appointed OBE in 1998. He is the author of the phenomenally successful Discworld series and his trilogy for young readers, The Bromeliad, is scheduled to be adapted into a spectacular animated movie. His first Discworld novel for children, THE AMAZING MAURICE AND HIS EDUCATED RODENTS, was awarded the 2001 Carnegie Medal.
