A guide to Discworld’s mythic roots

Linda Washington’s guide connects The Wee Free Men with the wider Discworld series, whose novels draw on works such as Macbeth, Faust, and The Arabian Nights. Its mix of mythology trivia, sidebars, an author biography, and analysis of Pratchett’s work gives the book several entry points into the series and its influences. The focus is on context and reference material rather than a standalone fictional adventure, making it a companion to the novels named in the source.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in The Wee Free Men or the Discworld series
  • Readers seeking mythology trivia and context on literary influences
  • Pratchett readers interested in an author biography and discussion of his work

Book overview

A fascinating guide to the international bestselling Discworld series and the award-winning The Wee Free Men--soon to be a major motion picture

Before J. K. Rowling became the best-selling author in Britain, Terry Pratchett wore that hat. With over 45 million books sold, Pratchett is an international phenomenon. His brainchild is the Discworld series--novels he began as parodies of other works like Macbeth, Faust, and The Arabian Nights. The Wee Free Men, one of Pratchett's most popular novels, will be made into a movie by Spider-Man director Sam Raimi. It's the story of 9-year-old wannabe witch Tiffany Aching, who unites with the Nac Mac Feegle (6-inch-tall blue men who like to fight and love to drink) to free her brother from an evil fairy queen.

A fun, interactive guide that will explore the land of Discword, Secrets of The Wee Free Men and Discworld is filled with sidebars, mythology trivia, and includes a bio of the fascinating author Terry Pratchett, and an in-depth analysis of his work. This unofficial guide is a great resource for readers of The Wee Free Men and the other books of the Discworld series.
