Reviews

  • "Quite, quite brilliant"

    Starburst

  • "A clear example of a comic fantasy classic and, well . . . Crivens! It deserves t'sell a millyun copies"

    Sunday Express

  • "Plenty to laugh at here, not least Pratchett's ability to put a 90 degree spin on the familiar"

    The Times

  • "The overall effect is full of intrigue, humour and mystery. There is an immense variety not just in the pictures but in the juxtaposition of text with illustrations on different pages throughout the book, and a few beautifully appropriate fold-out sections add to the effect"

    School Librarian

  • "This is a brilliant inducement to revisit the story, and then to read on"

Extracts

The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett

Tiffany wants to be a witch when she grows up. A proper one, with a pointy hat. And flying, she’s always dreamed of flying (though it’s cold up there, you have to wear really thick pants, two layers). Read an extract from The Wee Free Men, the first book in the Tiffany Aching series by Terry Pratchett.
