Description
Book SynopsisTiffany wants to be a witch when she grows up.
A proper one, with a pointy hat. And flying, she''s always dreamed of flying (though it''s cold up there, you have to wear really thick pants, two layers).
But she''s worried Tiffany isn''t a very ''witchy'' name. And a witch has always protected Tiffany''s land, to stop the nightmares getting through.
Now the nightmares have taken her brother, and it''s up to her to get him back.
With a horde of unruly fairies at her disposal, Tiffany is not alone. And she is the twentieth granddaughter of her Granny Aching: shepherdess extraordinaire, and protector of the land.
Tiffany Aching. Now there''s a rather good name for a witch.
''Quite, quite brilliant''
