Fantasy world: The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett
Tiffany Aching, a young witch-to-be, is all that stands between the monsters of Fairyland and the warm, green Chalk country that is her home.
British writer Terry Pratchett’s ‘The Wee Free Men’ is a 2003 comic fantasy, which takes place in his Discworld setting.
Armed only with a frying pan and her common sense, Tiffany Aching, a young witch-to-be, is all that stands between the monsters of Fairyland and the warm, green Chalk country that is her home. Forced into fairyland to seek her kidnapped brother, Tiffany allies herself with the Chalk’s local Nac Mac Feegle — the Wee Free Men — a clan of sheep-stealing, sword-wielding, six-inch-high blue men who are as fierce as they are funny. Together they battle through an eerie and ever-shifting landscape, fighting brutal flying fairies, dream-spinning dromes, and grimhounds — black dogs with eyes of fire and teeth of razors — before ultimately confronting the Queen of the Elves, absolute ruler of a world in which reality intertwines with nightmare. And in the final showdown, Tiffany must face her cruel power alone.
In 2013, Terry Pratchett’s daughter Rhianna Pratchett announced that she would be adapting Wee Free Men into a film.
