From the Inside Flap
There's trouble on the Aching farm - a monster in the river, a headless horseman in the lane and nightmares coming down from the hills. The Tiffany Aching's little brother is stolen away . . .

Tiffany's got to get him back. She has a weapon (a frying pan), her granny's magic book (well, Diseases of the Sheep, actually) and . . .

. . . she's got the Nac Mac Feegle - the fightin', thievin', blue-skinned little pictsies known as the Wee Free Men.

'Ach, stick it up yer trakkans!'
'They can tak' oour lives but they cannae tak' oour trousers!'
'Nac Mac Feegle! The Wee Free Men! Nac king! Nae quin! Nae laird!'

This wise, witty, wonderfully inventive adventure set on the Discworld has been a massive bestseller worldwide. Now this sumptuously illustrated edition - the complete text plus some extra new material - brings the whole adventure magnificently to life in glorious full colour.

Unmissable for all fans of Tiffany and the Feegles. Just don't leave it anywhere a Feegle might steal it . . . --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Been there, read that and ..., 4 Nov 2008
By Susan Belcher "Su B" (St Helens, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Illustrated Wee Free Men (Hardcover)
... I'm loving the illustrated version. Even though I keep being told that it's a children's book, yet I have noticed that these people who keep telling me that it's for children not adults are trying to borrow it!

As a Terry Pratchett/Discworld fan I found that I fell for the Nac Mac Feegle and young Tiffany Aching. When I saw there was going to be an illustrated version I ordered it immediately, had the order cancelled by Amazon due to unexpected delay, then reordered it again. I waited so long for it that I was worried when it was finally sent. However I was not let down, it's been beautifully done.

I like one of the other reviewers have now ordered my second copy due to the grubby hands of those who think it is for children only.

5.0 out of 5 stars As fun and well written as ANY of pTerrys books, 18 Oct 2008
This review is from: The Illustrated Wee Free Men (Hardcover)
I have loved pTerrys books since an extract The Colour Of Magic first appeared in a magazine and I ran out to get a copy, and have read every book of his since. Wee Free Men has all of the sly humour and excellent writing you expect of pTerry and is WELL worth getting despite, or maybe because of, claims it 'also' appeals to younger readers.

Seriously, if you like pTerrys books you will miss out if you avoid the adventures Nac Mac Feegle and their big wee hag! With cast of such favorites as Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and introducing what will hopefully become a new set of repeat characters.

The illustrated version, just as with Eric, is a superb addition to any collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why does it matter?, 20 Aug 2008
By G. Francis "GeorgeB27" (Scotland, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a teacher of secondary English I read a lot of literature, from older children's and young adult, through to 'Literature' with a capital 'L'. All Pterry's books are entertaining and worth a read, and I absolutely adore the 'Wee Free Men' books, as much as I like Pterry's recent 'adult' discworld novels. There is so much good writing out there aimed at teenagers, that it would be a shame to miss out just because we were born a decade too early. (And yes I did read Harry Potter with the children's covers and I thank JK everytime I see a teenage boy engrossed in a book!)
