Overview

A fascinating guide to the international bestselling Discworld series and the award-winning The Wee Free Men - soon to be a major motion picture. Before JK Rowling became the bestselling author in Britain, Terry Pratchett wore that hat. With over 45 million books sold, Pratchett is an international phenomenon. His brainchild is the Discworld series - novels he began as parodies of other works like Macbeth, Faust, 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 nine-year-old wannabe witch Tiffany Aching, who unites with the Nac Mac Feegle (six-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 Discworld, Secrets of the Wee Free Men and Discworld is filled with sidebars, mythology trivia, and includes a bio of the fascinating author Terry Pratchett, and an in-depth analysis of his work. This unofficial guide is a great resource for readers of The Wee Free Men and the other books of the Discworld series.
