The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Witches Abroad is the third book in the Witches series.
You can't fight a Happy Ending, especially when it comes with glass slippers and a rival Fairy Godmother who has made Destiny an offer it can't refuse. Servant girls have to marry the prince, whether they want to or not.
That's the problem with real life - it tends to get in the way of a good story, and a good story is hard to resist. Quite hard, actually, even for the witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick. After all, how difficult could it be to make sure that a servant girl doesn't marry a prince? Inheriting a fairy godmother role seemed an easy job. įairy godmothers develop a very deep understanding about human nature, which makes the good ones kind and the bad ones powerful. The Discworld is very much like our own - if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is.

The trouble really begins once these reluctant foster-godmothers arrive in Genua and must outwit their power-hungry counterpart who'll stop at nothing to achieve a proper "happy ending"even if it means destroying a kingdom. So now it's up to Magrat Garlick, Granny Weatherwax, and Nanny Ogg to hop on broomsticks and make for far-distant Genua to ensure the servant girl doesn't marry the Prince.īut the road to Genua is bumpy, and along the way the trio of witches encounters the occasional vampire, werewolf, and falling house (well this is a fairy tale, after all). Once upon a time there was a fairy godmother named Desiderata who had a good heart, a wise head, and poor planning skillswhich unforunately left the Princess Emberella in the care of her other (not quite so good and wise) godmother when DEATH came for Desiderata. 12 of Discworld Novels Written by: Terry Pratchett Narrated by: Tony Robinson Abridged Audiobook Play Free with a 30-day free trial Give as a gift Ratings Book 25 Narrator 1 Release Date January 2007 Duration 3 hours 9 minutes Summary Brought to you by Penguin.
