Abstract
The Shepherdâs Crown (2015) â by English author Sir Terry Pratchett, featuring his young witch character, Tiffany Aching â was never going to be an easy read for me. I knew and counted Terry among my friends since 2008, and I watched Alzheimerâs slowly and insidiously strip him of attributes and faculty over that time. The 41st and final Discworld novel â published five months after its authorâs death â wasnât something I ever wanted to face. But I am glad I did. Itâs a joy to read. Terry knew in 2014 that this was the likely curtain call for his time on the Disc. He was still incubating ideas for future books. He wasnât quite finished with Sam Vimes or the wizards of Unseen University â but he was a very clever and, above all, realistic man.
