See all formats and editions

Before J. K. Rowling became the best selling author in Britain, Terry Pratchett wore that hat.

With over 40 million books sold, Pratchett is an international phenomenon.

His brainchild is the "Discworld" series-novels he began as parodies of other works like "Macbeth" and "The Arabian Nights". "The Wee Free Men", one of Pratchett's most popular novels, will be made into a movie by "Spider-Man" director Sam Raimi.

It's the story of 9-year-old wannabe witch Tiffany Aching who unites with the Wee Free Men, (6-inch-tall blue men who like to fight and love to drink) to free her brother from an evil fairy queen.A fun, interactive guide that will explore the land of Disc- word, "Secrets of the Wee Free Men and Discworld" is filled with sidebars, trivia, folklore, mythology and fables, a bio of the fascinating author Terry Pratchett and an in-depth analysis of his work.

This unofficial guide is the ultimate resource for both the novel "The Wee Free Men" and the entire "Discworld" series.
