Bill Harley introduces an excerpt from THE WEE FREE MEN by Terry Pratchett. Tiffany’s family has farmed on the same land for generations. She’s learned a lot from her Granny Aching, a wise woman, who more than one person in town called a witch. But Granny’s gone now, and strange forces of magic seem to be gathering around Tiffany’s home. Tiffany begins to show her own powers when a strange monster comes out of the river and tries to snatch her little brother. She grabs a frying pan from her kitchen, sets a trap, and knocks the monster silly. That little act earns her the attention of Miss Tick, a rather befuddled witch passing through the area, disguised as a teacher. Miss Tick, with help from her talking toad, tells Tiffany to be careful and leaves for more help, giving little explanation of what’s really happening. But something is up and before it’s over, Tiffany’s going to have to depend on some very unusual help: the Nac Mac Feegle – aka the Wee Free Men – a clan of fierce, funny, sheep-stealing, sword-wielding, six-inch-high blue men. Who knew saving the world could be so funny? Each episode of Camel's Hump Radio features a compelling excerpt from a book, read by a professional actor and accented with original music. Our goal is to air an excerpt that hooks the listener into the story and ends with a finish that leaves them wanting to read the rest of the book. A companion website allows listeners to learn more about the featured books, authors and provides additional related material.
