An illustrated version of the first novel in the Tiffany Aching children’s series, Wee Free Men, is now available for pre-order on Amazon.co.uk.

This new edition is to be titled The Illustrated Wee Free Men, and according to Amazon.co.uk, will number 256 pages. To quote the synopsis:

‘They can tak’ oour lives but they cannae tak’ oour trousers!’  When the Queen of Fairyland steals away Tiffany Aching’s young brother, Tiffany has to do something.  Helped by the Nac Mac Feegle–the thievin’, fightin’, stealin’ pictsies known as the Wee Free Men–she steps through into another world…. This is a terrific adventure set on the Discworld, filled with Terry Pratchett’s inimitable wit, style and invention–and this new gift edition includes extra new material to give real added value for fans.

The U.K. publishing date is set for October 6, 2008, while the American publishing date is set for October 28.
