    About this audiobook

    Fantasy grandmaster Sir Terry Pratchett's final Discworld novel, and the fifth to feature the witch Tiffany Aching.

    A SHIVERING OF WORLDS

    Deep in the Chalk, something is stirring. The owls and the foxes can sense it, and Tiffany Aching feels it in her boots. An old enemy is gathering strength. This is a time of endings and beginnings, old friends and new, a blurring of edges and a shifting of power. Now Tiffany stands between the light and the dark, the good and the bad.

    As the fairy horde prepares for invasion, Tiffany must summon all the witches to stand with her. To protect the land. Her land.

    There will be a reckoning. . . .

    THE FINAL DISCWORLD NOVEL

    The five funny and fabulous Tiffany Aching adventures are:

    • The Wee Free Men
    • A Hat Full of Sky
    • Wintersmith
    • I Shall Wear Midnight
    • The Shepherd’s Crown

    Tiffany’s mentors, Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, star in the novels Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad, Lords and Ladies, Maskerade, and Carpe Jugulum.

    And don’t miss Terry Pratchett’s hilarious and wise Discworld novel The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents!

    Terry Pratchett

    Terry Pratchett (1948–2015) was the acclaimed creator of the globally revered Discworld series. In all, he authored more than fifty bestselling books, which have sold more than one hundred million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.

      I would have loved to know how this book ended but half way through the title became "no longer available in (my) country".

      What I listened to was wonderful.
