About this listen

 Wintersmith is the title of the third Tiffany Aching novel in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, published on the 21 September 2006. It is the 35th novel in the Discworld series. It is also the title of a 2013 album by Terry Pratchett's favorite musical group, Steeleye Span which was inspired by his Tiffany Aching novels and which contains an introduction booklet by Pratchett. The title 'Wintersmith' means the 'smith or creator of winter'. In earlier times the black smith was a key figure in village life, the creator of everything from swords to plough shares. In effect the Wintersmith forges winter out of the autumn. The novel is aimed at a younger audience so Pratchett tends to over explain his jokes, references and puns (likely to the annoyance of adult readers).
