 The Nac Mac Feegle are only a few inches tall, blue, red haired, kilt-wearing, ne er-do-wells who will steal anything that isn t nailed down. Strike that. They ll steal anything... and the nail. They drink, they fight, they head-butt or kick just about everything that moves, and they speak in a Scottish brogue ("Ach! Crivens!"). And with all that going for them, it s no wonder that they turn out to be the bravest, most loyal, and aggravating friends a girl can have. Tiffany Aching is barely into her adolescence, but when the Faerie queen steals her younger brother, she s not about to let being young stop her. Armed with little more than a frying pan, her common sense, and a gaggle of Nac Mac Feegles, Tiffany invades Faerieland in a quest to get back what s hers.
