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 . . .

Critic Reviews
A clear example of a comic fantasy classic and, well . . . Crivens! It deserves t'sell a millyun copies
This book has all the themes you want from a book for 9-11 year olds - facing your fears, believing in yourself, taking responsibility, standing up and saying "this is MY world, and I'm gonna fight for it". And it explores these themes through a darn good story - one that has just the amount of rudeness and swearing that would keep a child excited.
There's no dumbing down however. The story and the writing is super enjoyable even as an adult. There is magic, but it's really practical magic - and magic never gets anyone out of trouble. And it doesn't shy away from the grittier realities of life - barons who can be cruel, children of barons who can be classists, 9 year olds who work at their parents' farm and have to raise a toddler part-time.
It's an excellent book, and like Lego, one that can be enjoyed at all ages. I can see why Tiffany Aching was what Prachett wanted to be remembered for - and I look forward to seeing her grow up and safeguard her world!
Narration-wise, it took me a while to warm up to the main narrator, but she did a good job overall. I also liked the fact that they had a separate narrator for the footnotes, made the integration quite seamless. The Feegles thick Scottish accent though - sometimes that got in the way of my enjoyment. I know it's intentional and true to the story, but as a non-native speaker, it was a bit much.
