We all knew this day would come, but it doesn't make it any easier.
Pterry created some of my favourite characters in the literary world. Nany Ogg, the witch who's keen on drink and singing (The wizards staff has a knob on the end), The Igors and Igorinas, Conina the barbarian hairdresser, DEATH, Nobby Nobbs, the luggage, ... .
RIP Sir Terry, you have enriched my life greatly.
- pferde 12y agoWasn't the "Wizards' Staff" more of Ankh-Morpork song? Nanny was known more for her Hedgehog song. Although I wouldn't put it past her to hear Wizards' Staff at some point of her long life, and of course she would like it too. :)
- mswift42 12y agoI am pretty sure the song is first mentioned in 'Wyrd Sisters' when Nanny Ogg is shouting at the night sky.
- riffraff 12y agoI am not sure it's first mentioned there, but Nanny definitely sings it in wyrd sisters[0].
