The fourth in a series of Discworld novels starring the young witch Tiffany Aching.
Terry Pratchett (Author)
Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling
Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was
published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty
bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies
worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and
screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the
Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to
literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his
greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.

a must for all Pratchett fans
*Mansfield Chad*
As the well-places plot unravels in Pratchett's inimitable style,
it goes without saying that everything gets very funny.
Like Tiffany, Pratchett has always known that "laughter helps
things slide into the thinking".

Blackpool Gazette*
Pratchett's book is suffused with an awareness of the thankless
exhaustion which awaits people in the caring professions.
