Loading... A Hat Full of Sky (2004)by Terry Pratchett
Brilliant sequel to The Wee Free Men. Tiffany Aching is one of the most likable young witches ever, and Pratchett has given us another chapter of her story that is hilarious, poignant and wise all at once. 9/2012 Love this book in any form, but this audio may be edging into first place. The narration is just splendid. 9/2011 I adore this book. Tiffany's a delightful heroine, but the real star here is Granny Weatherwax. Pratchett's wise women are crochety, quirky and entirely wonderful as a rule, but Esme Weatherwax transcends wonderfulness and enters into epic territory. 3/2009 Wonderful narration! If you like the book, you'll love the audio. Originally posted here. I’ve been enjoying Terry Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching books–I finished the first one (The Wee Free Men) a few days ago and then got out the second (A Hat Full of Sky). I’ve tried Pratchett before and didn’t ever fall in love with his books. The emotional heart seemed to be missing; I’m not one for clever books at the moment and Pratchett is nothing if not clever. (As a side note: this is a recent thing. I think I would have really liked Pratchett in high school.) The Tiffany Aching books are funny and clever, but they’re also much more emotionally connected and I really like them. So if, like me, you’ve bounced off Pratchett’s wit in the past, I’d suggest trying one of these instead. Although I love reading Pratchett's books, I had even more fun listening to the audiobook. The reader, Stephen Briggs, does all the right accents. Highly recommended to listen to even if you've read the book. no reviews | add a review

And Tiffany is a great wee Big Hag. (
