Up on the
chalk downs they call The Wold, witches are banned, but as all witches know,
chalk's no good for magic anyway. Nine-year-old Tiffany Aching thinks her
Granny Aching - a wise shepherd - might have been a witch, but now Granny
Aching is dead and it's up to Tiffany to work it all out when strange things
begin happening: a fairy-tale monster in the stream, a headless horseman and,
strangest of all, the tiny blue men in kilts, "The Wee
Free Men", who have come looking for the new 'hag'. A riotous, wise,
and gripping junior Discworld novel from the Carnegie Medal-winning author and
acknowledged master of comic fantasy. |
