Fun story. I love the Wee Free Men. I listened to the audiobook version read by Stephen Briggs which was really excellent.

I liked this story. I'm glad I listened to it, the accents are so much better than what would happen in my head if I was reading it.
Delightful! Sometimes the book would get a little scary but then the wee free men would show up and everything would be alright. I don't generally read fantasy, I'm more of a science fiction guy, but every Pratchett book I have read has been great
