A Hat Full of Sky

Product Information

She was never likely to say out loud, “I wish that I could marry a handsome prince,” but knowing that if you did you’d probably open the door to find a stunned prince, a tied-up priest, and a Nac Mac Feegle grinning cheerfully and ready to act as best man definitely made you watch what you said. Tiffany tells her broomstick "I am not going to learn you, you are going to learn me", then says that or else, the next lesson would involve an axe. Despite her insignificance to the plot, when she is talked about or present, she is treated with respect.

In the world of fairy tales everything happens in threes; three sons, three quests, three maidens, three golden apples and the most important of all 'three wishes'.

This time, neither Mistress Weatherwax (the greatest witch in the world) nor the fierce, six-inch-high Wee Free Men can protect her. Tiffany leaves the group after they, led by Annagramma, ridicule her when she tells them about her imaginary hat. Non-Malicious Monster: The hiver's only emotion, as it turns out, is fear; it describes its entire existence as an And I Must Scream situation after it becomes self-aware.
