The Wee Free Men
by Terry Pratchett
Armed with only a frying pan and her common sense, Tiffany Aching, a
young witch-to-be, is all that stands between the monsters of Fairyland
and the warm, green Chalk country that is her home. Forced into
Fairyland to seek her kidnaped brother, Tiffany allies herself with
the Chalk's local Nac Mac Feegle -- aka the Wee Free Men -- a clan of
sheep-stealing, sword-wielding, six-inch-high blue men who are as fierce
as they are funny. Together they battle through an eerie and ever-shifting
landscape, fighting brutal flying fairies, dream-spinning dromes, and
grimhounds -- black dogs with eyes of fire and teeth of razors -- before
ultimately confronting the Queen of the Elves, absolute ruler of a world in
which reality intertwines with nightmare. And in the final showdown,
Tiffany must face her cruel power alone...
