For Tiffany, training is much more practical and less guided – she is thrown into situations and learns ‘on the job’. If the words ‘witch in training’ call to mind magic schools and potions classes, put those ideas aside for a moment, because Tiffany is a very different kind of witch. Tiff is a young girl who becomes a witch in training and protector of the small country community where she grows up. So who is Tiffany Aching? And why is she is so loved that Sir Terry was even made an honorary Brownie (younger Girl Scout) for creating her? “Another world is colliding with this one,” said the toad.
The Tiffany Aching series is certainly one of my own favourites within the Discworld books, and I’m hoping I can convince some new readers to give it a go! A lot of people are very excited about this, because Tiffany is a firm favourite with many Discworld fans. Recently, we heard the news that Wee Free Men, the first in the Tiffany Aching series of Discworld books by Sir Terry Pratchett, is going to be brought to film by the Jim Henson Company and Narrativia, Sir Terry’s production company.
