Practchett's vivid imagination, and his ability to pull readers in to the world of fantasy but also having that witty sense of humor is very enjoyable. I love how the Wee Free Men call Tiffany a "hag." That cracks me up...I haven't heard that word in a long time.
Also, I was looking on his U.S. Web site and he said both the Wee Free Men and A Hat Full of Sky were both part of Discworld. And he explains Discworld as "There are no maps. You can't map a sense of humor. Anyway, what is a fantasy map but a space beyond which There Be Dragons? On the Discworld we know There Be Dragons Everywhere. They might not all have scales and forked tongues, but they Be Here all right, grinning and jostling and trying to sell you souvenirs."
I love his wording he uses, and like Katie W said I love Tiffany's character. Her smart remarks and the things she says really make her character likable.
