In the back of the book, there is an interveiw with Terry Pratchett and he says that "the Nac Mac Feegle are, well, they're like tiny little Scottish Smufs who have seen Bravehart altogether too many times."
Oh! he also says that there is going to be one more Tiffany Aching book.

I just got a box from a friend I used to live with, containing my lost copy of Interesting Times. I'd forgotten how funny Cohen and the Silver Horde were.

Aren't the little blue men supposed to be rather pictish?

I'm reading "Hat Full Of Sky" and a thought came to me today, were the Wee Free Men inspired by the Smufs?
Think about it, little blue men, only one female in the bunch. What do any of you think?

Browne, It was the frst Prachette book I read, It is funny. Any thing by Terry Prachatte is worth reading at least ounce. Try it, you,ll like it.

Cheers

I made my mom buy me Going Postal for Christmas. I love it, but is it just me or are the Discworld books getting a bit darker and more macabre as the series goes on?
