The first book in the Tiffany Aching series - five Discworld novels from master-storyteller Terry Pratchett.

The Wee Free Men introduces us to Tiffany, who 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).

But Tiffany's worried her name isn't very 'witchy'. Historically, a witch has always protected Tiffany's land to stop nightmares from getting through. Now the nightmares have taken her brother, and it's up to her to get him back.

Armed with a horde of unruly fairies, Tiffany is not alone. She is the twentieth granddaughter of her Granny Aching—shepherdess extraordinaire and protector of the land.

Tiffany Aching. Now there's a rather good name for a witch.
