Tiffany must use all her witchy cunning to reclaim what's hers. Luckily, she has a bit of help. What's tiny, Scottish and blue all over A Nac Mac Feegle of course - the rudest type of fairy, and handy to have in a tight spot . . .

Reviews

Pratchett's ear for dialogue is superb . . . His deep feeling for landscape, animals, kindness and courage make his adventures deeply satisfying as well as clever * The Times *
Oodles of dry wit, imagination and shrewdly observed characters * Independent on Sunday *
A great Pratchett strength is the sense that if the jokes . . . were dropped there would still be a good, engaging fantasy thriller here * Independent *
Fantastically inventive and humorous fantasy adventure. Fans will be sky high * The Sunday Times *
Funny, typically humorous . . . A must for any Terry Pratchett fan . . . With its witty and slightly confusing plot-twists and hilarious dialogue, this is, without doubt, another great children's book * Bristol Evening Post *
