The official Facebook page, run by Pratchett’s publishers, also quoted a section from I Shall Wear Midnight: “‘I make it my business. Photograph: Tom Pilston/The Independent/Rex Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” And the people there see you differently, too. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colours. Change the story, change the world,” was taken from A Hat Full of Sky, as was “Why do you go away? So that you can come back.
Pratchett’s Facebook page has been posting a series of quotes from the Tiffany Aching books, under the line “There will be a reckoning”, and adorned, again, with the motif of bees. Advertising material for the novel from Waterstones shows it surrounded by bees – a theme repeated on the US cover from HarperCollins. It also depicts a white cat, presumably You, the kitten given by Tiffany to Granny Weatherwax. The British jacket shows Tiffany and the Nac Mac Feegles, the six-inch fairies with red hair and blue skin who speak a Scots dialect (“Ye ken, we’ve been robbin’ and running aroound on all kinds o’ worlds for a lang time, and I’ll tell ye this: the universe is a lot more comp-li-cated than it looks from the ooutside,” one says in The Wee Free Men). Speak his name,” tweeted from the account in the name of Pratchett and his assistant, Rob Wilkins.įew details have been disclosed about the forthcoming novel.
“A man is not dead while his name is still spoken.
The British and US jackets were unveiled on Pratchett’s Twitter feed, which had last been used to break the news of his death in March. The book is the final Discworld novel from the author who died in March, and the fifth to feature Tiffany, after The Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky, Wintersmith and I Shall Wear Midnight.
