Book Description
When Tiffany Aching sets out to become a witch, she faces ominous foes and gains unexpected allies. As she confronts the Queen of Fairies and battles an ancient, bodiless evil, she is aided (and most ably abetted) by the six-inch-high, fightin', stealin', drinkin' Wee Free Men!
Laugh-out-loud humor and breathtaking action combine in the books that launched the unforgettable adventures of a determined young witch and her tiny but fierce blue friends.

Spoiler Alert - this is not a new story,
By
This review is from: The Wee Free Men: The Beginning (Paperback)
This book, although not stated as so above, is a compilation of "The Wee Free Men" and "A Hat Full Of Sky".They are wonderful stories, however, if you already own them, you may not want this one. If you don't own them, this is a terrific book, like all of Pratchett's.

And I Already OWN It,
By Game Gopher - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Wee Free Men: The Beginning (Paperback)
Because of the title, I thought this was a prequel to the Tiffany Aching series. Imagine my surprise when I found it was a paperback edition of The Wee Free Men and Hatful of Sky. I love both of these books, but must admit I don't need additional copies. Just thought others may want to know.

I was another impulsive re-buyer -- BEWARE!,
By Lynn Hughes - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Wee Free Men: The Beginning (Paperback)
Like some others who have posted reviews here, I was so delighted to see what appeared to be a prequel to 2 books I had enjoyed that I bought it without reading any details. Both books combined in this re-published volume (The Wee Free Men and A Hat Full of Sky) are excellent for middle school kids right on through adults who enjoy Terry Pratchett. But this was deceptive, whether intentionally or not. I accept a large part of the responsibility for not reading all of the descriptive material, of course. But it certainly sounded like a prequel to me, and I am obviously not the only one.

First Two Great Books, One Great Price,
By This Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Wee Free Men: The Beginning (Paperback)
Pratchett is one of the greatest, sharpest, most entertaining and enlightening writers of all time. His Discworld series has provided me more entertainment (and often thought provoking entertainment at that) than just about any thing else I can think of. While my personal favorites are the Discworld books that follow the city watch and Commander Sam Vimes (one of my all time favorite characters in any media), every book in the series is worth reading. Starting with book four, Mort, all the way to book 33 or so Unseen Academicals, Pratchett has established himself as a brilliant world builder, character creator, satarist, and humorist. While several of his books would make my top ten of all time list, Nightwatch could very easily take the very top spot.The two books covered in this volume are the first two Tiffany Aching books (as with many of the Discworld books, these books are set in the Discworld, but form the start of thier own series within the series). Written to a slightly younger audience, they are still highly enjoyable for all ages. Highly recommended in and of themselves, combined in a nice volume for such a low price, they are absolutely worth picking up for any Discworld fans or for anyone who hasn't yet given the Discworld (and Pratchett) a try. |
