Whether it's Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg bickering, Magrat Garlic awkwardly trying to justify wearing pants, instead of a skirt (under Granny Weatherwax's intense, disapproving scrutiny) or Nanny Ogg's one eyed tom cat, Grebo, being turned into a man to attend the masquerade ball, it's highly entertaining. Witches Abroad is rich and colorful with many laugh out loud moments. When I tried the earlier audiobook version I didn't like it because A) it was abridged (why?) and B) the narration was somewhat anemic and, unfortunately, didn't do the story justice. I read Witches Abroad many years ago and couldn't stop laughing through the book. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this. The first book in the Discworld series – The Colour of Magic – was published in 1983.

Witches Abroad is the third book in the Witches series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order. It's hard to resist a good story, even when the fate of the kingdom depends on it.

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?

The witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick are travelling to far-distant Genua to stop a wedding and save a kingdom. Everyone lives happily ever after.don't they? Only people can build a better world for people. 'You can't go around building a better world for people. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan. BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy ( Love Actually Pirates of the Caribbean Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz ( Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. The audiobook of Witches Abroad is narrated by Indira Varma ( Game of Thrones Luther This Way Up).
