About this listen

A nightmarish danger threatens from the other side of reality . . .

Armed with only a frying pan and her common sense, young witch-to-be Tiffany Aching must defend her home against the monsters of Fairyland. Luckily she has some very unusual help: the local Nac Mac Feegle – aka the Wee Free Men – a clan of fierce, sheep-stealing, sword-wielding, six-inch-high blue men.

Together they must face headless horsemen, ferocious grimhounds, terrifying dreams come true, and ultimately the sinister Queen of the Elves herself . . .

THE FIRST BOOK IN THE TIFFANY ACHING SEQUENCE

Critic Reviews

A clear example of a comic fantasy classic and, well . . . Crivens! It deserves t'sell a millyun copies
Plenty to laugh at here, not least Pratchett's ability to put a 90 degree spin on the familiar
A funny and thought-provoking fantasy, with powerfully visual scenes and characters that remain with readers. A glorious read
Quite, quite brilliant

Tony Robinson's chosen voice for the feegles is very hard on the ears. He is an excellent reader but in this case its just impossible to stick with the story. It's breathy falsetto and just irritating after a while. I returned this one in favor of Stephen Briggs version.

Narrator isn't ideal

I love the story. I just can’t stand the narration.
The feegles may be tiny but never did I imagine them as high pitched and screechy. Hard to listen to.

Doesn’t do it justice

We absolutely love this story and Tony is a great actor, but the recording quality was so poor that it was very frustrating to listen to. It would get ear-piercingly loud or so soft that we missed what was said. I don’t recommend this version.
