![]() ![]() Even though she's figured out a way to manipulate the dreams herself, she doesn't want to stay there. In this paperback edition, the illustrations are by Laura Ellen Anderson, while the 2003 version is by Paul Kidby. Tiffany knows that she has to wake up in order to do real things, and to live a real life-that's why she's so adamant about all of them escaping Fairyland at the very end. The Terry Pratchetts 'Wee Free Men' is the 30th Discworld Novel and the first book in the Tiffany Aching Series. "I'll wake up when I go through the door," said Tiffany, pulling Roland out of the boat. Tiffany understands that she can't stay in a dream world forever: ![]() Whether pleasant or horrifying, Tiffany consistently identifies dreams as unreal-even when a dream lands her back in her own home. Because of this, one of the things dreams draw our attention to as readers is how people react to them-which means that dreams are our ticket to very real character trait understanding. And while Tiffany is a fast learner and quick and creative thinker (as evidence by her ability to get out of dreams), people like Roland and the Queen get stuck in them for ages, content to wander around without looking for a real way out. But there was one direction that looked… thin, and white. If she was in a dream, she had to wake up. She thought she heard her brain creak with the effort of thinking. Here is a moment when Tiffany is trying to find a way out of a dream: The Queen's world is made entirely of dreams rather than reality-she dreams up how she wants the world to look, and traps people who enter Fairyland in bizarre dreams that they cannot escape. Dreams play an awfully important role in The Wee Free Men because they make up the whole of Fairyland. ![]()
