Wee Free Men

Armed with a frying pan and common sense, witch-to-be Tiffany has many adventures when she goes into Fairyland to save her family. With serious humor, magic, and the Nac Mac Feegle--or more commonly known as the Wee Free Men--Pratchett created a great book for lovers of fantasy, his other works, readers of humor or if you are a first time reader of his novels. This truly is a book for teens and adults alike.

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 Feegleaka the Wee Free Mena 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. . . .

“Just the package to appeal to those who admire not just a brave heart but a quick comeback as well.”
