Deal Details
Various Retailers have Tiffany Aching Complete 5-Book Collection: The Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky, Wintersmith, I Shall Wear Midnight, The Shepherd's Crown by Terry Pratchett (eBook) on sale for $3.99.

Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for finding this deal.

Available:About this Collection:
  • This collection includes all five Tiffany Aching novels in Terry Pratchett's beloved and bestselling Discworld series, including the final Discworld novel, The Shepherd's Crown.
  • The Wee Free Men: 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 Hat Full of Sky: Tiffany Aching is ready to begin her apprenticeship in magic. She expects spells and magic—not chores and ill-tempered nanny goats! Surely there must be more to witchcraft than this! Indeed, there is. . . .
  • Wintersmith: When the Spirit of Winter takes a fancy to Tiffany Aching, he wants her to stay in his gleaming, frozen world. Forever. It will take the young witch's skill and cunning, as well as help from the legendary Granny Weatherwax and the irrepressible Wee Free Men, to survive until Spring.
  • I Shall Wear Midnight: As the witch of the Chalk, Tiffany Aching performs the distinctly unglamorous work of caring for the needy. But someone—or something—is inciting fear, generating dark thoughts and angry murmurs against witches. Tiffany must find the source of unrest and defeat the evil at its root, for if she falls, the whole Chalk falls with her. . . .
  • The Shepherd's Crown: Deep in the Chalk, something is stirring. The owls and the foxes can sense it, and Tiffany Aching feels it in her boots. An old enemy is gathering strength. This is a time of endings and beginnings, old friends and new, a blurring of edges and a shifting of power. Now Tiffany stands between the light and the dark, the good and the bad. There will be a reckoning. . . .

Any Discworld fan will have any number of ways to answer this...

Tiffany Aching novels were Pratchett writing for "young adult" so as such they are Discworld but lighter and not quite as complex as the main line, but that said, they are still pretty deep. You can easily enjoy them without knowing a thing about the main world as they largely work off on the side. Starting at the second novel, they interact with a major character from the main theme, but nothing more than what is provided in the book is needed. There's a minor visit from a main line character in the 4th book that is almost more of an easter egg than anything else. Lastly, the final novel is THE final novel, and was released shortly after he died. He completed the work (nothing will ever be official new Discworld) and does tie a bow on several open threads and one major character.

If you enjoy these, you would love the Discworld books. There's plenty of ways to read them too - by character arc, time, release, world time, etc. I'm old so I read them as they were released and enjoy rereading them depending on my story mood.

Great books, if you enjoy the Discworld series. Similar humor to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

This author has collaborated with Neil gaiman. Are they similar styles, genres?

I still need to dive into Discworld. It's probably a bad idea to start with these, right? Thanks in advance for any insight or thoughts.

Pratchett writes fantasy with a heavy helping of British humor. There's certainly some overlap between the two, but the better comparison is with Douglas Adams of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If you find that you like Pratchett, he wrote a LOT of books and many of them are loved. At worst you'll lose $4, so why not?

You will adore them! They do start out as YA, but by the 4th book (Tiffany does indeed grow up throughout the story) they feel like proper Discworld books.

Dang! I am currently nearly through with this series and have been buying them one at a time, before this deal.

If you love Pratchett, these books are among his very best and also some of his very last. This is Terry Pratchett at the peak of his storytelling. I have read most of his books, and put these off because of the 'young adult' label. I should have known that even then, they would be a joy to read. As the series progresses, the main character grows up, and by the 4th book, I feel that these might as well be Discworld books - perhaps even a bit heavier in tone and feeling than you might expect.

The later books are among his best writing ever and definitely in my top 5 from Pratchett, which was absolutely delightful to discover. Definitely worth it at any price!

It's fantasy with a lot of humor/parody/puns; I find it closer to Pier Anthony's Xanth books; if you like that kind of humor, they're all amazing.
