The trouble Tiffany finds herself in, namely, is that the Queen of Fairyland has stolen her sticky baby brother, Wentworth. Tiffany is brash, a little impulsive, and not particularly patient with her little brother-but she's also determined to carve her own way in life, and that determination comes in handy when she runs into trouble. This particular fantasy novel features a young, scrappy heroine that young readers can certainly relate to. And this world is full of mythology and magic-which isn't surprising from a writer who dabbles in astronomy and writes a whole lot of fantasy. In The Wee Free Men, Pratchett delves into a world that's known to readers of his Discworld series.
English writer Terry Pratchett usually writes books for adults, but in The Wee Free Men he tumbles gleefully into the world of children's literature-just as the heroine of the story, Tiffany, tumbles (though not so gleefully) into the strange world of Fairyland.
