My one problem is that Pratchett starts of with a glossary of characters and it is very difficult to flip back to this in an audiobook when you want to know who or what a particular person represents. He clearly enjoys reading Pratchett and understands his material well. He finds consistent recognisable voices for the main characters, using a range of regional accents from the UK. Stephen Briggs does an excellent job of reading quite complex material with a large cast of characters. "Equal Rites" would be a good place to start. A nodding acquaintence with Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg from any of the witch-focussed books in the series would also help.

While it is possible to 'read' Pratchett's Discworld books in any order and still find them entertaining, they do build on one another, so I would recommend reading or listening to "The Wee Free Men" first, especially if you haven't read any Pratchett before. A Hat Full of Sky: The Second Tiffany Aching Adventure (Discworld Series 32) by Terry Pratchett 4.6 (101) Paperback (Revised) 9.99 10.99 Save 9 Paperback 9.99 eBook 10. In it she defeats a Hiver, a creature that cannot be killed. This is the story of Tiffany's journey off the Chalk to begin her witches' apprenticeship with Miss Level. I found this, as I usually do with Pratchett, difficult to 'put down' - it contains plenty to keep the more mature adult intrigued and amused. Although they are listed as children's books, they are definitely aimed at the older literate child who loves words. This is the second of the books about Tiffany Aching and the Wee Free Men. If the rest of them are as good as this, then it'll be a good decision. I did enjoy listening to this and it has made me consider reading/listening to the rest of the Tiffany series. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? He personalises the characters brilliantly. I've listened to Brigg's version of Theif of Time, and his style suits the Discworld series very well.
Have you listened to any of Stephen Briggs’s other performances? How does this one compare? There were aspects of humour that are identifiably Pratchett and kept me laughing all along the way. Having not read the book prior to listening I cant say how well it translates to audio though I thought that Brigg's interpretation of the story was really good.ĭespite this being a story "for children" (and being in the "Children's Discworld Series") this was thoroughly enjoyable for an adult. of chases or violence 10% planning/preparing, gather info, debate puzzles/motives 35% Feelings, relationships, character bio/development 30% Descript.Would you consider the audio edition of A Hat Full of Sky to be better than the print version?
