A cauldron of fun is brewing when a trio of the Discworld's witches, led by the delightfully iconoclastic Granny Weatherwax, turn their wands to royal politics in internationally bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett's brilliant satire that echoes some of William Shakespeare's best-loved works.


Three witches on a lonely heath.

A king cruelly murdered, his throne usurped by his ambitious cousin.

A child heir and the royal crown, both missing.

The witches in Discworld don't have these kinds of problems--because they don't like being bossed about. They do, however, have Granny Weatherwax, the most highly regarded non-leader of their non-social coven.

But when the future of the Discworld is at stake, Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Margat Garlick form an unlikely alliance to save a prince and restore him to the throne of Lancre. As they learn, though, it's far more complicated to stir up trouble in a castle than a certain Bard would have it, even when you've got a few unexpected spells up your sleeve.

 

"Superb."--Washington Post Book World
