Time for Some Equal Rites
I have been a long time fan of Terry Patchett since I first read the Colour of Magic back in the 80s. In particular I have always liked the Witches, Granny and Nanny. But I have never read all of Terry's Witches books or in the correct order. So this year is time to correct this serious failing.

A number of helpful people have already sorted out the order of Mr P.'s witches books. With six books listed in order below.

I believe all of the covers were painted by Josh Kirby. On to the Figures
This reading has inspired a little side project. I had always planned to add a little coven of witches with scenery to the Fae but moved onto the next project(s) before getting round to it.
But reading Mr. P witches has reminded me to get my own set of Witches and I have started trawling around the internet looking for some suitable figures. There were some official figures at one stage but I remember the costs were quite high. I also half remember a number of figures I quite liked but can't find at the moment.
Anyway my first finds were a very nice range of witches from Midlam Miniatures and the first potential candidates for Granny & Nanny. Because witches always come in threes, Granny & Nanny will also need a junior witch to boss about. I already have a cat familiar from Reaper who can be used as Greebo.
