Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.

The audiobook of The Wee Free Men is narrated by Indira Varma (Game of Thrones; Luther; This Way Up). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes and Steven Cree (Outlander; A Discovery of Witches) voices the Nac Mac Feegles. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

Tiffany wants to be a witch when she grows up.

A proper one, with a pointy hat. And flying, she's always dreamed of flying (though it's cold up there, you have to wear really thick pants, two layers).

But she's worried Tiffany isn't a very 'witchy' name. And a witch has always protected Tiffany's land, to stop the nightmares getting through.

Now the nightmares have taken her brother, and it's up to her to get him back.

With a horde of unruly fairies at her disposal, Tiffany is not alone. And she is the twentieth granddaughter of her Granny Aching: shepherdess extraordinaire, and protector of the land.

Tiffany Aching. Now there's a rather good name for a witch.

The Wee Free Men is the first book in the Tiffany Aching series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order.

The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

If I had to name my favourite book… this would be it…

Wisdom, ethics and an ode to the (British) countryside hiding in a beautifully simple story…

The previous narration was very good but Indira manages to further emphasise the narrative beauty in the story… I cried…

The feegle voices were good but I feel the voice of the gonnagle could have been better… the rolling of the rrrs sounded unnatural

Pretty much a perfect book

Indira Varma did a great job reading this, and the Feegle voices are just a cherry on top. Of course, this is essentially a book for children, but it introduces new things to the Discworld lore that you can't skip over! Must read!

Lovely production of a great story
