I read this a long time ago but never got around to registering it. Thinking back now, I can't really remember a lot about this story or the wintersmith or the Feegles. To be honest, they're not my favour clutch of Pratchett's characters - I'm more in the camp of Death and Sam Vimes. I do love the cover of this book though and admire the person who came up with the genius money spinning idea of printing kids books with adults covers in order to instill some sort of adult gravitas on the reader and make them feel less ashamed to read kiderature rather than literature in a public place like on the bus or the tube.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Released to Ratrin who is a fellow bookcrosser, but not a frequent user of the site. I know you enjoyed the Wee Free Men which was your first introduction to Pratchett so hopefully you will love this one too!
I had never read a Terry Pratchett book until I read The Wee Free Men. I spotted it in my sisters 'release' pile and I snapped it up. I really feel like I have missed out in only starting to read his books now. Cant wait to start reading this one!
I really liked this book. I enjoyed the themes of nature and how the Wintersmith was described when Pratchett was writing about him becoming human. I loved Boffo! I might bring this into my life...a great way of fooling people and making them believe that you are something you are not. Only the 2nd book I have read by TP, 3 on my shelf to start.
I will be doing a controlled release of sorts tomorrow. Planning on leaving it on the book shelf in work! I hope someone will log it if it is picked up x
