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!

Product description

Review

“Fans will also find plenty of well-loved elements: exuberant wordplay, vaudevillian humor, the rambunctious blue-skinned Nac Mac Feegle, and-beneath it all-a susurrus of shivery archetype and myth. Pratchett’s final work is a tour de force of compassion, great wit, and gleeful storytelling.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“There is something deeply suitable about the significant focus here on legacy and what is left behind. Savor this one; it’s literally the last authorized book coming.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review)

“Terry was one of our greatest fantasists, and beyond a doubt the funniest.” — George R. R. Martin

“A Terry Pratchett book is a small miracle.” — Neil Gaiman

“Discworld is one of the very most fabulous creations in all of literature.” — Patrick Ness

“No writer in my lifetime has given me as much pleasure and happiness.” — A. S. Byatt

“A writer of monumental talent.” — Rick Riordan

“Beloved fantasy writer Pratchett died this spring, and his dedicated and immense fan base will want his final novel. His storytelling is pure magic, and fans will grieve anew that this is the last of it. Stock up.” — Booklist

“Elegiac and comforting, funny and serious.” — Horn Book Magazine

About the Author

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.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Terry Pratchett sold his first story when he was fifteen, which earned him enough money to buy a second-hand typewriter. His first novel, a humorous fantasy entitled The Carpet People, appeared in 1971 from the publisher Colin Smythe. Terry worked for many years as a journalist and press officer, writing in his spare time and publishing a number of novels, including his first Discworld novel, The Color of Magic, in 1983. In 1987 he turned to writing full time, and has not looked back since. To date there are a total of 36 books in the Discworld series, of which four (so far) are written for children. The first of these children's books, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, won the Carnegie Medal. A non-Discworld book, Good Omens, his 1990 collaboration with Neil Gaiman, has been a longtime bestseller, and was reissued in hardcover by William Morrow in early 2006 (it is also available as a mass market paperback (Harper Torch, 2006) and trade paperback (Harper Paperbacks, 2006). Terry's latest book, Nation, a non-Discworld standalone YA novel was published in October of 2008 and was an instant New York Times and London Times bestseller. Regarded as one of the most significant contemporary English-language satirists, Pratchett has won numerous literary awards, was named an Officer of the British Empire “for services to literature” in 1998, and has received four honorary doctorates from the Universities of Warwick, Portsmouth, Bath, and Bristol. His acclaimed novels have sold more than 55 million copies (give or take a few million) and have been translated into 36 languages. Terry Pratchett lived in England with his family, and spent too much time at his word processor. Some of Terry's accolades include: The Carnegie Medal, Locus Awards, the Mythopoetic Award, ALA Notable Books for Children, ALA Best Books for Young Adults, Book Sense 76 Pick, Prometheus Award and the British Fantasy Award.

Somehow I missed this book when it came out. I've always loved Terry Pratchett's Dscworld books. The witches were always my favourite characters so having them right at the centre of this one was a treat.
So sad thatched is the last one.

We have all Terry Pratchett's books but, sadly, they wear out from not only us but friends and family (and their children) borrowing them. They have to be replaced and I can think of no better way to do that than through Amazon, it's easy and inexpensive. The "Shepherds Crown" is, in our view, the saddest of Terry's books. Not for it's content but for the fact that it's his last book and had to be finished by his editor and family and it shows.
It's a beautiful story as you would naturally expect, I only wish Terry had lived to complete it himself, he intended at least 450 pages. I wish he was still alive to write about the further evolution of Discworld but that couldn't be; buggrit, millenium hand and shrimp, as Foul ole Ron would say.
Anyway, if you haven't got this, or the other Discworld books I advise you to get them all. You really will be delighted.

It's difficult to read this knowing that this was Terry Pratchett's last book before his death from his terminal illness (a rare complication of Alzheimer's). It seems to be a way for him to work through his thoughts and death, so death and meaning are heavily featured. You need to emotionally prepare to read this book. Tiffany's books are the only books I haven't finished in the Discworld series (I had only read the first), but it didn't matter for reading this book.

Really good. I enjoyed it immensely. It was such a good final book. From one of the best authors out there. There was a moment were I cried a little bit knowing that this was the last Terry Pratchett book ever. It was fantastic swan song for him. The jokes in the book were all ways bang on. The story was great. I know this was hisast book. But man did he introduce a really great new character, well actually two new characters. With Geoffrey and his goat. It's just tobad we'll never get to learn more about the first male witch and his goat. Terry Pratchett you will definitely be missed. You have ment so much to me as I grew up. You, and all your characters were friends to me when we I had no friends. I all ways wishi had the chance to meet you and thankyou for that. So I do it now thankyou so much for that sir.

5.0 out of 5 stars The final Discworlkd Novel leaves the bar set high.
Reviewed in Canada on October 8, 2015

There are never going to be any more Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. That's a terrible thing, but this is a fine, fine way to close the series. As with all his Discworld books, Sir Terry finds a way to talk about the real world, the stupid things we do and the daft things we believe. Fans of the series and of the Tiffany Aching books in particular should be well satisfied with this novel, sad as it certainly is. From saying farewell to a major Discworld character, to pitting Tiffany once more against the denizens of the Fairie realm, this book works hard. There's one thread I felt was left loose, but I have no complaints about that - Sir Terry chose to tell us this story, and it was his to tell. I'm very happy to have had this final tale from him and will love and re-read all his books for a long time to come.

I have been reading the disk world novels since I was in middle school and I bought this book knowing that Prattchet is long gone. I can't help but think that if this book is to be the last it is still among the best. As I write this I am crying because these books have been such a long and powerful part of my life. These books have made me laugh and given me moments of peace and normalcy in the worst times in my life this book is no different it made me laugh, and cackle and cry because I know it's the last.

Terry Pratchett is one of my favourite authors, and I have put off reading his last book for a long time. I have the hardback version in my bookcase but could not bring myself to open it.

I have now read The Shepherds Crown on Kindle and it doesn't disappoint. Loved it. Love the Feegles, Tiffany, Granny and Nanny and Geoffrey. Well worth the wait. Farewell Terry x

Sono un Fan di Pratchett. Non é fantascienza, non é pura fantasy, non é juvenilia, non é romanzo ma c'é un po' di tutti questi generi. A volte penso che siano delle satire travestite. Consiglio a tutti i suoi libri, puro godimento per quanti riescano/vogliano/si impegnino a leggere questi libri costruiti "strato su strato", dalla fiaba allo Humor all'ironia (ed a volte fino al sarcasmo). Cerco di leggere tutto quello che trovo, specialmente se trovo le versioni in inglese (le traduzioni italiane non hanno lo stesso "sapore", non per difetto dei traduttori ma solo perché purtroppo il tipo di umorismo non permette una versione perfetta, anche perché certe situazioni, derivate dal folklore anglosassone, non fanno parte del bagaglio della cultura italiana. Ma comunque degni di lettura in ogni lingua ed ad ogni età.
