Discworld - Tiffany Aching #1-5
Tiffany Aching Complete 5-Book Collection: The Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky, Wintersmith, I Shall Wear Midnight, The Shepherd's Crown – An Epic Young ... from Terry Pratchett's Beloved Discworld
This collection includes all five Tiffany Aching novels in Terry Pratchett's beloved and bestselling Discworld series, including the final Discworld novel, The Shepherd's Crown.
The Wee Free Men: Armed with only a frying pan and her common sense, young witch-to-be Tiffany Aching must defend her home against the monsters of Fairyland. Luckily she has some very unusual help: the local Nac Mac Feegle—aka the Wee Free Men.
A Hat Full of Sky: Tiffany Aching is ready to begin her apprenticeship in magic. She expects spells and magic—not chores and ill-tempered nanny goats! Surely there must be more to witchcraft than this! Indeed, there is. . . .
Wintersmith: When the Spirit of Winter takes a fancy to Tiffany Aching, he wants her to stay in his gleaming, frozen world. Forever. It will take the young witch's skill and cunning, as well as help from the legendary Granny Weatherwax and the irrepressible Wee Free Men, to survive until Spring.
I Shall Wear Midnight: As the witch of the Chalk, Tiffany Aching performs the distinctly unglamorous work of caring for the needy. But someone—or something—is inciting fear, generating dark thoughts and angry murmurs against witches. Tiffany must find the source of unrest and defeat the evil at its root, for if she falls, the whole Chalk falls with her. . . .
The Shepherd's Crown: Deep in the Chalk, something is stirring. The owls and the foxes can sense it, and Tiffany Aching feels it in her boots. An old enemy is gathering strength. This is a time of endings and beginnings, old friends and new, a blurring of edges and a shifting of power. Now Tiffany stands between the light and the dark, the good and the bad. There will be a reckoning. . . .

About the author
Terry Pratchett
684 books46.1k followersSir Terence David John Pratchett was an English author, humorist, and satirist, best known for the Discworld series of 41 comic fantasy novels published between 1983–2015, and for the apocalyptic comedy novel Good Omens (1990), which he co-wrote with Neil Gaiman.
Pratchett's first novel, The Carpet People, was published in 1971. The first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983, after which Pratchett wrote an average of two books a year. The final Discworld novel, The Shepherd's Crown, was published in August 2015, five months after his death.
With more than 100 million books sold worldwide in 43 languages, Pratchett was the UK's best-selling author of the 1990s. He was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1998 and was knighted for services to literature in the 2009 New Year Honours. In 2001 he won the annual Carnegie Medal for The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, the first Discworld book marketed for children. He received the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement in 2010.
In December 2007 Pratchett announced that he had been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. He later made a substantial public donation to the Alzheimer's Research Trust (now Alzheimer's Research UK, ARUK), filmed three television programmes chronicling his experiences with the condition for the BBC, and became a patron of ARUK. Pratchett died on 12 March 2015, at the age of 66.

Pratchett at his best!
The 5 books featuring Tiffany Aching are perhaps Pratchett's crowning achievement.
I know, all the Disc World characters are good, and readers like different Pratchett themes, but these books are peerless.
Excellent young adult and adult literature.

Awesome set!
I love Terry Pratchett's books! This coming-of-age story about a young girl who is determined to be a real witch instead of a dairy maid grabbed me and sucked me into Terry Pratchett's Discworld where so many interesting people's stories have taken place. Sir Terry left us far too soon.

I loved these books. I had to suspend disbelief numerous times to accomodate for how young Tiffany was when she has the experiences that she has. After the 1st or 2nd book, i got kind of tired of learning about new villains. And villains can come back in the later books! But I love Granny Weatherwax, and magic and witches and tales of the Discworld, and (some) coming of age stories. Oh, iirc there are even some vampires at one point! The last of these books was the last novel that Terry Pratchett wrote before his death :(

Never finished the last book but I’m sure it’s as wonderful as the rest. Another one of my favorite authors of all time; so witty and funny comparable to lemony snicket. Wee free men is an incredibly fun read and from there it’s hard to put down the following books. Great read all of them. Who knows maybe I’ll finish the last book Terry Pratchet published sometime soon.

A fun read. Tiffany Aching strikes a great balance of youthful impulse and developing wisdom, and it's great to see her come into her own throughout the series. I really like Tiffany's logical thinking and the groundedness of the witches' tradition overall. There's great magic, yes, but the daily magic is the daily work and care of the community.

Fabulous. Now I need to read the rest of Pratchett. Should keep me busy awhile.

Reading Harry Potter didn't make me want to be a witch. Reading Tiffany Aching did.

This would be so fun too teach! The wee men are hilarious and Tiffany too wise for her age.

Great for all ages
While a wonderful romp through fantasy, this story arch is full of practical advice . It would do many a person good to learn the lessons Tiffany Aching learns as she finds her own place in the world. No one has all the answers, but sometimes knowing the right questions is almost as good.
