Granny Weatherwax is the headology expert
Have you read Witches Abroad? I *love* his inclusion of the spoof of the scene where Frodo and Sam are being followed in their boat by Smeagol who can be seen as a pair of eyes in the water. In Terry Pratchett's version, it's the witches who are being followed and Nanny Ogg (it may have been Granny Weatherwax but I'm pretty sure it was Nanny Ogg) raises her broomstick and aims it right between the eyes... Nice little homage to Lord Of The Rings from Terry Pratchett. Amazon UK have a special offer on some of his paperbacks right now:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/471221/ref=br_bx_1_10/202-7846358-5591860 They're offering them at £12 for 3, which isn't a bad deal. Have you got The Unadulterated Cat as well? It's not a Discworld book but it is marvellously funny and very true to life --and-- cats!
