Series: Discworld

The twelfth Discworld novel.

A paperback edition with the original cover art of the classic fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett, the third book in the Witches series, part of the Discworld novels.

'One of our greatest fantasists, and beyond a doubt the funniest' George RR Martin

'One of Pratchett's finest' 5-star reader review

'You can't go around building a better world for people. Only people can build a better world for people. Otherwise, it's just a cage.'

There's power in stories. The Fairy Godmother is good. The servant girl marries the Prince. Everyone lives happily ever after . . . don't they?

The witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick are travelling to far-distant Genua to stop a wedding and save a kingdom.

But how do you fight a happy-ever-after, especially when it comes with glass slippers and a power-hungry Fairy Godmother who has made Destiny an offer it can't refuse?

It's hard to resist a good story, even when the fate of the kingdom depends on it . . .

Witches Abroad is the third book in the Witches series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

Reviews for Witches Abroad (#12 Discworld)

'A true orginal among contemporary writers' The Times 'His jokes are the best thing since Wodehouse. His comic footnotes are still glorious' The Times 'Pratchett's writing is a constant delight. No-one mixes the fantastical and mundane to better comic effect or offers sharper insights into the absurdities of modern endeavour' Daily Mail
