If I remember correctly, up until Sourcery, Pratchett was still working through what the final canon of the Discworld would be, so I believe some Granny details (and perhaps this story?) are later retconned. This book also introduces Granny Weatherwax, a witch from the sticks out in the Ram Tops in a city called Bad Ass. Sourcery, Discworld #5, is the last time Pratchett makes a big deal of ancestry that leads to wizards, I believe. ![]() In this book we follow Esk who was accidentally identified as the 8th son of an 8th son. ![]() Of course, that leads later into the Girl Power movement.
