<p>Gregoryp: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Book Data<br /> |title=I Shall Wear Midnight<br /> |cover=<br /> [[File:ISWM.jpg|240px|Cover art by Paul Kidby]]<br /> |date=Sep 2, 2010<br /> |publisher=Doubleday<br /> |isbn=0385611072<br /> |pages=<br /> |rrp=<br /> |series= Tiffany Series<br /> |characters=[[Tiffany Aching]], the [[Pictsies]]<br /> |annotations=Yes<br /> |notes=The fourth Tiffany Aching book<br /> }}<br /> <br /> <br /> ''I Shall Wear Midnight'' is the fourth Tiffany Aching novel, published September 2, 2010.<br /> <br /> The title is loosely based upon the poem &quot;''When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple''&quot; by {{wp|Jenny_Joseph|Jenny Joseph}}. This is the title that most people would recognise, however it is interesting that the correct title for her poem is &quot;''Warning''&quot;.&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; 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!<br /> <br /> The title is also a capsule of the thought process of the character [[Tiffany Aching|Tiffany]] in regards to her wearing colorful clothing despite being a [[Witches|witch]]. It is also a callback to the end of {{HFOS}}, regarding the cloak that the [[hiver]] bought while possessing her.<br /> <br /> If the aging tradition of the Tiffany books continued (every book leaps 2 years: in {{WFM}} Tiffany is 9, in {{HFOS}}, 11, and in {{W}}, 12 and 13) then Tiffany should be 15 in this book; however it established by the character [[Preston]] that she is 16.<br /> <br /> &lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;''You can see it [http://www.barbados.org/poetry/wheniam.htm here]''<br /> <br /> ==Synopsis==<br /> 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, &quot;I Shall Wear Midnight&quot; is the fourth Discworld title to feature Tiffany and her tiny, fightin', boozin' pictsie friends, the Nac Mac Feegle (aka The Wee Free Men).<br /> <br /> ==Main Characters==<br /> *[[Tiffany Aching]] <br /> *The [[Cunning Man]]<br /> *[[Jeannie]]<br /> *[[Letitia Keepsake]]<br /> *[[Pictsies|Nac Mac Feegle]]<br /> *[[Deirdre Parsley]], lately Lady Keepsake / The Duchess<br /> *[[Amber Petty]]<br /> *[[Preston]]<br /> *[[Roland]]<br /> *[[Eskarina Smith]]<br /> <br /> ==Minor Characters &amp; Cameos==<br /> *[[Joe Aching]]<br /> *[[Wentworth Aching]]<br /> *[[Sally Cambric]]<br /> *[[Death]]<br /> *[[Magrat Garlick]]<br /> *[[Happenstance|Mrs Happenstance]]<br /> *[[Nanny Ogg]]<br /> *[[Seth Petty]]<br /> *[[Molly Petty]]<br /> *[[Mrs Proust]]<br /> *[[Granny Weatherwax]]<br /> *Members of the [[Ankh-Morpork City Watch]]<br /> **[[Wee Mad Arthur]]<br /> **[[Haddock]]<br /> **[[Carrot Ironfoundersson]]<br /> **[[Nobby Nobbs]]<br /> **Captain [[Angua von Überwald]]<br /> **[[Sam Vimes]]<br /> <br /> ==Locations==<br /> *[[Ankh-Morpork]]<br /> **[[Unreal Estate]] <br /> *[[The Chalk]]<br /> **[[Home Farm]]<br /> *[[Keepsake Hall]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> {{series|series=Discworld|before=Unseen Academicals|after= Snuff}}<br /> {{series|series=Tiffany|before=Wintersmith|after=The Shepherd's Crown}}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Discworld Series|I Shall Wear Midnight]]<br /> [[Category:Tiffany Series|I Shall Wear Midnight]]<br /> [[Category:Children's books|I Shall Wear Midnight]]<br /> [[de:Buch:Das Mitternachtskleid]]</div>
