I Shall Wear Midnight is the 4th Tiffany Aching novel, due to be published in September 2010.[1]

The title is loosely based upon the poem "When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple" by Jenny Joseph. This is the title that most people would recognise, however it is interesting that the correct title for her poem is "Warning". You can see it here [2]. Despite a superficial similarity, there is no evidence to link the two works. The most senior and junior witches look set to have interesting times together!

The title is also a capsule of the thought process of the character Tiffany in regards to her wearing colorful clothing despite being a witch.

If the aging tradition of the Tiffany books continues (every book leaps 2 years: in Wee Free Men Tiffany is 9, in A Hat Full of Sky, 11) then Tiffany will be 15 in this book.

[edit] Synopsis

A man with no eyes. No eyes at all. Two tunnels in his head ...It's not easy being a witch, and it's certainly not all whizzing about on broomsticks, but Tiffany Aching - teen witch - is doing her best. Until something evil wakes up, something that stirs up all the old stories about nasty old witches, so that just wearing a pointy hat suddenly seems a very bad idea. Worse still, this evil ghost from the past is hunting down one witch in particular. He's hunting for Tiffany. And he's found her…. A fabulous Discworld title filled with witches and magic and told in the inimitable Terry Pratchett style, "I Shall Wear Midnight" is the fourth Discworld title to feature Tiffany and her tiny, fightin', boozin' pictsie friends, the Nac Mac Feegle (aka The Wee Free Men).
