A man with no eyes. No eyes at all. Two tunnels in his head . . .

It's not easy being a witch, and it's certainly not all whizzing about on broomsticks, but Tiffany Aching - teen witch - is doing her best. Until something evil wakes up, something that stirs up all the old stories about nasty old witches, so that just wearing a pointy hat suddenly seems a very bad idea. Worse still, this evil ghost from the past is hunting down one witch in particular. He's hunting for Tiffany. And he's found her . . .

A fabulous Discworld title filled with witches and magic and told in the inimitable Terry Pratchett style, I Shall Wear Midnight is the fourth Discworld title to feature Tiffany and her tiny, fightin', boozin' pictsie friends, the Nac Mac Feegle (aka The Wee Free Men).

Critic reviews

Teen witch Tiffany is one of [Pratchett's]most formidable creations yet
Tiffany Aching fans should be ecstatic.
Writing at the height of his powers . . . he makes us laugh a lot.
funny
... everything gets very funny
Adventure, magic and the usual dark, dry humour will keep you entertained from start to finish.
There are entertaining twists, humorous moments, and just enough romance to leave everyone happy at the end of the book.
a must for all Pratchett fans

As the well-places plot unravels in Pratchett's inimitable style, it goes without saying that everything gets very funny.
Like Tiffany, Pratchett has always known that "laughter helps things slide into the thinking".

(Alex Sarll, Sarah O'Meara)
Pratchett's book is suffused with an awareness of the thankless exhaustion which awaits people in the caring professions.

Amazing performance of an amazing book! I cannot wait for my daughters to be old enough to introduce them to Tiffany and this audiobook just might make that a reality little sooner

Fantastic

Having read and reread all the Discworld books, many times, I absolutely love the audiobooks. They add to the whole experience and always bring something new. I am finding that I have missed some of the hidden meanings when reading the books, (I am fairly literally minded). The audios go so very well with the written books, I cannot stop listing to them.
I loved the Stephen Briggs readings although I feel in some parts the narration seems a bit rushed. I much prefer the pacing of the new versions. Indira Varma, Steven Cree, Bill Nighy and Peter Serafinowics are perfect for these books.

I absolutely love this book.

Brilliantly written and performed - fabulous characterisation. A witty and engaging narrative - thought provoking and philosophical!

Stunning!

I love TPs discworld novels - I read Colour of Magic just a few years after publication, and, as with many readers, have grown up with Pratchett. I didn't read the 'kids' books though... I was firmly an adult and pre-kids, when Wee Free Men came out. So, many years later, with an 11 and 8 year old in tow, we've been devouring them on Audible over the summer holidays - and they've just reiterated to me how wise, funny and humane TP is. The magic, the power (!) of story telling has always been such a rich seam in discworld and I love that my kids can experience such a masterful rendering of these themes in this version. One note on in this last book in the series... it takes on some pretty grim realities - right at the beginning - that set up much of the passion in the unfolding drama. It's quite a gear change when binging on Audible that may not have been such a leap for the original cohort who aged with the books. I'm not sure my 8 yr old is ready for it and my 11 yr old was a little disturbed... but the story pays off this opening tension... just be prepared if you're listening with young kids.

Tiffany Aching matures into the witch we all wanted her to be.

Gripping story (I usually go to sleep with audio books- this kept me awake) I couldn’t wait to see what happened next

Brilliant story made even more brilliant by the wonderful narrator
