'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...

'No one mixes the fantastical and mundane to better comic effect' Daily Mail

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

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

The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Engaging, surreal satire . . . nothing short of magical.” — Chicago Tribune

APR/MAY 08 - AudioFile

In Terry Pratchett’s fantastical tale, a small sect of blundering witches sets out on a remarkable journey to the city of Genua to stop the prince’s marriage. It’s a fun adventure geared toward the younger generation but thoroughly enjoyable by listeners of all ages. Narrator Nigel Planer is incredibly charming and thoroughly precise in his delivery. His witty English accent adds to the adventure and fantasy elements of this story. Planer is so good that his narration is less an inspired reading than a remarkable one-man show. A theatrical atmosphere is created from his rich pallet of ominous tones and whiny witchlike voices. L.B. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
