About This Audiobook

A Hat Full of Sky is the second Tiffany Aching novel, following the young witch-in-training as she leaves the Chalk to apprentice with a real witch in the mountains. When Tiffany carelessly steps out of her own body and leaves it vulnerable, something ancient and unstoppable moves in to take it, and Tiffany must face the crisis without any of the weapons she expected to have available.

Stephen Briggs narrates Pratchett with the kind of deadpan precision that the Discworld series requires, finding the laugh in the philosophical without sacrificing the genuine warmth underneath. The Nac Mac Feegle, the tiny, belligerent Feegles who guard Tiffany with passionate incompetence, are a particular challenge for any narrator, and Briggs handles their voices with the right balance of comedy and charm.
