About this listen

Authorised by Mr Lipwig of the Ankh-Morpork and Sto Plains Hygienic Railway himself, Mrs Georgina Bradshaw’s invaluable guide to the destinations and diversions of the railway deserves a place in the luggage of any traveller, or indeed armchair traveller, upon the Disc.

  • From the twine walk of Great Slack to the souks of Zemphis: edifying sights along the route.
  • Ticketing, nostrums and transporting your swamp dragon: essential hints on the practicalities of travel.
  • Elegant resorts and quaint inns: respectable and sanitary lodgings for all species and heights.
  • From worm-herding to Fustic Cake: diverting trivia on the crafts, foods and brassica traditions of the many industrious people for whom the railway is now a vital link to the Century of the Anchovy.

Replete with useful titbits, Mrs Bradshaw’s Handbook offers a view of the Sto Plains like no other. Beautifully narrated by Penelope Keith with Michael Fenton Stevens.

Having Penelope Keith portray Mrs Georgina Bradshaw is genius. She reads the role to perfection.
Having Michael Fenton Steven’s reading the notices was also a joy.
For a little side venture, this is just a happy little Discworld treasure, that makes you wish you were riding the AM&SPHR in all the directions that exists.

As a long time Discworld fan, I could not have picked a more perfect voice for the reading of this lovely little addition to the cannon. Penelope Keith has exactly the right plummy tone for Mrs Georgina Bradshaw and the accompanying soundtrack of railway sounds makes this a must listen for Discworld fans. Short but highly recommended.

Perfect Performance!
