The Wee Free Men: Discworld Novels

Autor Terry Pratchett Ilustrat de Paul Kidby
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 dec 2023 – vârsta până la 11 ani
The first in a series of Discworld novels starring the young witch Tiffany Aching.
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. . . .

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

EVERY LAND NEEDS ITS OWN WITCH.

There’s a monster in the river, a headless horsemen in the drive. And now Granny Aching has gone, there’s only young Tiffany Aching left to guard the boundaries.

It’s her land. Her duty.

But it’s amazing how useful a horde of unruly pictsies can be . . .


Textul de pe ultima copertă

There's trouble on the Aching farm: monsters in the river, headless horsemen in the lane—and Tiffany Aching's little brother has been stolen by the Queen of Fairies. Getting him back will require all of Tiffany's strength and determination (as well as a sturdy skillet) and the help of the rowdy clan of fightin', stealin', tiny blue-skinned pictsies known as the Wee Free Men!

Recenzii

“With its wry wit and acerbic collision of the mystical with the mundane, the latest book in Pratchett’s internationally popular Discworld, is good solid storytelling done in a style that reads like Celtic mythology fused with the girl power of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” with dialogue by Robert Burns.”
“Exuberant and irresistible. Pratchett’s tale recalls a whole variety of texts in which underestimated heroines confront the forces of darkness—Meg Murry of A Wrinkle in Time, Coraline of Neil Gaiman’s recent novel, Lyra Belacqua of The Golden Compass, Miss Bianca of The Rescuers, even Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”
“A smart retelling [that] delves into weighty issues but keeps its sense of dark humor.”
Wonderful language, genuinely scary explorations, and a young girl whose growing up is believable and exciting.”
“An enthralling and rewarding read.”
“Set in a chillingly unrecognizable ‘fairyland,’ this ingenious melange of fantasy, action, humor, and sly bits of social commentary contains complex underlying themes on the nature of love, reality, and dreams. The Carnegie Medal-winner’s fans will not be disappointed.”
“Perfect for anyone who enjoys The Princess Bride and the works of Douglas Adams. A wonderfully funny fantasy for all ages.”
A glorious read.”
