About this listen

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 . . .

Critic Reviews

This isn’t just a great Discworld book, it’s extraordinary . . . A magnificent sign-off.
From the shadow of dementia, a brilliant novel shines: Terry Pratchett's last book is a funny, fearless farewell . . . This is a book worth reading twice in quick succession. (Christopher Stevens)
A joyful sign-off from a master of fantasy fiction . . . High-octane literary enjoyment. (Nicholas Tucker)
Terry Pratchett was never so witty, direct and generous as in this, his final Discworld novel.
The Shepherd’s Crown is a sometimes sad, often funny and eminently suitable testament to the life and career of Terry Pratchett. (David Barnett)
A crowning achievement for Terry Pratchett and his Discworld . . . This is a book for all ages, the tour de force of one of the English language’s greatest authors, who, in the midst of encroaching darkness and facing so many terrors of his own, has contrived to astound us one last time with his craft.
This final book stands among the very best of [Pratchett's] work . . . An exceptionally crafted finale from one of the greats
Pratchett's final work is a tour de force of compassion, great wit, and gleeful storytelling.
A worthy crown to Terry Pratchett’s phenomenal artistic achievement. (Michael Dirda)
The last Discworld offering is a poignant farewell, both to Pratchett's readership and to his extraordinary world. (Imogen Russell Williams)

I'm so glad Terry Pratchett's last book is about Tiffany Aching and the witches. To me they are some of his finest characters, full of immense humour and compassion and love for humanity, as is this book.

Tony Robinson's narration is superb: his choice of accent is absolutely flawless, and his pace and dramatic interpretation perfect for the book. I laughed out loud on several occasions.

I don't normally like reading or listening to abridged texts, but I thoroughly recommend this one.

Vale Terry Pratchett, and Bravo Tony Robinson!

Wonderful!

What a great story, very emotional begining and even more so at the end.

Terry will be sorely missed.

Not Terrys best but still brilliant if you have read all other disk world novels this will really pull on your heart as two of Terrys favorite characters finish up their story. I hope that others that have collaborated with Terry in the past can carry on the disk world series as a tribute to the wonderful world that Terry has constructed. Rest in piece Terry and thank you for the stories and the many laughs your characters will all be remembered fondly.
