Product Information

Some of Terry's accolades include: The Carnegie Medal, Locus Awards, the Mythopoetic Award, ALA Notable Books for Children, ALA Best Books for Young Adults, Book Sense 76 Pick, Prometheus Award and the British Fantasy Award. In addition to the delights of the Strawberry Wobbler and Nobby's Mum's Distressed Pudding, Mrs Ogg imparts her thoughts on life, death, etiquette, courtship, children and weddings, all in a refined style that should not offend the most delicate of sensibilities.

In his short story " The Sea and Little Fishes" Nanny Ogg also identifies herself, and the Ogg family as a whole, as having immense natural magical talent, but is less willing to work it as hard as Weatherwaxes do.Nanny Ogg has been married three times, and is the mother of fifteen children and has many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. As with the Discworld Wiki, the text of Wikipedia:Wikipedia is available under the Wikipedia:GNU Free Documentation License. Indeed, in Thief of Time, Nanny Ogg is sought through various timeframes as she is/will become the best midwife in the world. She frequently appears in the Discworld series, particularly in the books featuring the Lancre witches. He has illustrated many Discworld publications including The Art of Discworld , best-selling The Last Hero and the Terry Pratchett's Discworld Imaginarium .

When she's drunk she has a tendency to sing very "special" songs, the most popular being "The Hedgehog Can Never Be Buggered At All" or simply "The Hedgehog Song" (never really unveiled by the author beyond a few lines, but many readers have written their own versions [1]). The first reference to Nanny Ogg's Cookbook appeared in 'Witches Abroad', where the cookbook makes its way to Ankh-Morpork and is subsequently published. Agnes was, Nanny considered, quite good-looking in an expansive kind of way; she was a fine figure of typical Lancre womanhood. that’s foreign for cat’s water, you know, but that’s only their way, I know it ain’t real cat’s water. No amount of charms could persuade a wart to take root on her handsome if slightly equine features, and vast intakes of sugar only served to give her boundless energy.

Nanny Ogg is far too wise and busy to carry a handbag; she keeps all she needs in her knickers, lifting her skirts to reveal a knickerleg, and extracting whatever is needed at the time. She's had 5 husbands and been married to three of them and has fifteen children who survived their early childhood (one was born some ten years after the death of her last husband). In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. Enough” wasn’t really a long enough word to describe the numerous little tasks any young woman marrying into the Ogg family found were expected of her.
