The Turtle Moves! (2010)
“Discworld's Story Unauthorized 27 “The Sea and Little Fishes” (1998) THE LONGEST OF THE SHORT prose-only Discworld stories, originally written for the anthology Legends, “The Sea and Little Fishes” introduces the Witch Trials, which we’ll see again in the Tiffany Aching series. It also gives us a first look at Letice Earwig, who will return in A Hat Full of Sky.
The Witch Trials, it should be noted, are nothing like the infamous witch trials of our own world, but are, rather, modeled on she...ep trials, or time trials, or whatever—they’re an annual competition in witchcraft, they are not court trials.
This story is about Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg—Agnes Nitt, the third in the Lancre coven, has only the very smallest of roles. Really, it’s a character study of Granny Weatherwax, as seen from Nanny Ogg’s point of view. It establishes once and for all that Granny is the most powerful witch on the Disc—and, like the wizards of Unseen University, an important part of her power is knowing when not to use magic.MoreLess
