While previously Tiffany aged two years between books (she’s 9 in The Wee Free Men, 11 in A Hat Full of Sky and turns 13 during Wintersmith), in this book she is “nearly sixteen”, a jump of three years. It is also echoed in the track “We Shall Wear Midnight” on the Tiffany Aching-inspired Steeleye Span album Wintersmith, which was released in 2013. It is also a callback to the end of A Hat Full of Sky, regarding the cloak that the hiver bought while possessing her.

This is the title that most people would recognise, however it is interesting that the correct title for her poem is “Warning”. The title is loosely based upon the poem “When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple” by Jenny Joseph. I Shall Wear Midnight is the fourth Tiffany Aching novel, published September 2, 2010.
