Wintersmith
3 journalers for this copy...
Here's the third Discworld story for younger readers in a series that began with The Wee Free Men (2003) and continued in A Hat Full of Sky (2004). Despite a stern warning from Miss Treason, the eccentric witch from whom 13-year-old Tiffany Aching is learning her craft, the girl has gone and danced with the wrong men. Having inserted herself into a dark reverse Morris dance in which summer and winter achieve their seasonal balance, Tiffany has attracted the amorous attentions of the Wintersmith. To express his ardor, he brings his chilly powers to bear, replete with Tiffany-shaped snowflakes burying the world in the rising drifts of his infatuation. While Granny Weatherwax, Miss Perspicacia Tick, and sundry veteran witches work with Tiffany to restrain the Wintersmith's zeal, the Wee Free Men set off to fetch a Hero to assist Tiffany, along the way adopting a cantankerous blue cheese. Add an assortment of junior witches-in-training, and yet another rollicking, clever, and quite charming adventure is brought to readers, who will find themselves delighted again--or for the first time--by Pratchett's exuberant storytelling.

Book on its way - have fun reading this! Don't worry if you start seeing little blue men around you...
(as always, I need my Pratchetts back, so please remember to send this back to me and don't release it! Thanks.)

Thanks a lot for letting me borrow this book. I'm really looking forward to reading it since I liked the first two books about the Nac Mac Feegle very much.
Seeing how I somehow couldn't quite get into the story, I gave the book to Kiki66 to read - and she will give it back to me after having finished it so I can have a second try.
Oh wow.. it seems I have never registered this book..
and now I just found it in my (real life) shelf among the other Pratchett's and
saw that it isn't mine.
I am really sorry and will contact phoenixfeather to send it back immediately!!
