The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett

I absolutely loved this- but I confess that part of that may have been due to the outstanding reading on the audiobook. But the pacing and humor and cleverness were enough that I think even reading it would have been an enjoyable 4 star experience. Great recommendation!

This book resonated deeply at this moment. Standing up for what is right, doing the hard things, seeing with more than your first sight, and thinking with second and third thoughts. Opening your eyes, and then opening them again to see beyond yourself.

Also, just a nice story of a little witch who makes good.

2021 Reread: The moment when Tiffany gets into it with No'-As-Big-As-Medium-Jock-But-Bigger-Than-Wee-Jock-Jock over his name is a really lovely example of someone insisting that a well-meaning but dismissive pronouncer use their correct name. This Feegle's calm and firm reminders to Tiffany as she awkwardly stumbles over his name are reminders to us all to accord each other the respect of calling one another by our name.

Un libro tenero, che fa tornare bambini e nel contempo rende più saggi - sì, è possibile.

Está claro que tengo un problema con Terry Pratchett. Entiendo su genialidad, sé ver que está ahí, pero a mí, en lo personal, no me atrapa. Y me ha encantado Tiffany Dolorido, entiéndaseme bien, y seguiré leyendo sobre ella, pero no soy capaz de sentirlo como un 5 estrellas. No sé qué me pasa, está claro que es cosa mía. Quizá no conecto con la intención cómica de la obra de Pratchett, quizá no me gusten los libros cómicos, porque "Buenos Presagios" lo abandoné y "El color de la magia" lo terminé a duras penas. En cambio, "Róndola" de Sofía Rhei y la "Guía del autoestopista galáctico" de Douglas Adams, me encantaron
