Secrets Of The Wee Free Men And Discworld (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Look what it did for undercover FBI agent Gracie Hart, played by Sandra Bullock in the movie of the latter title. Although it proves that at least you have personality, everyone would prefer to wear the crown. In Discworld, if you can’t be a god (Blind Io) but you’re immortal, chances are you’re the next runner-up—a personification of something. (An “anthropomorphic personification” as Miss Tick explains in Wintersmith.103) Some might say you’re still a god or, at times, a royal pain. The idea of personifying the seasons or other aspects of life comes from mythology—a creative way of looking at the origin of all things. In the Discworld books, Pratchett often mentions how faith in their existence shapes these immortals. They are what they are because of what the people of Discworld believe. Peter Pan once warned Wendy that every time someone expressed disbelief in a fairy, one died. In Discworld, particularly in such books as Hogfather, you can see the aftermath of this idea.
