'No one mixes the fantastical and mundane to better comic effect or offers sharper insights into the absurdities of modern endeavour' Daily Mail

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 . . .

Fairy godmothers develop a very deep understanding about human nature, which makes the good ones kind and the bad ones powerful.

Inheriting a fairy godmother role seemed an easy job . . . After all, how difficult could it be to make sure that a servant girl doesn't marry a prince?

Quite hard, actually, even for the witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick. 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.

Servant girls have to marry the prince, whether they want to or not. 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.

Critic Reviews

'A true orginal among contemporary writers'

'His jokes are the best thing since Wodehouse. His comic footnotes are still glorious'
'Pratchett's writing is a constant delight. No-one mixes the fantastical and mundane to better comic effect or offers sharper insights into the absurdities of modern endeavour'

Love Tony's voice - so no-nonsence, and the perfect northern accent. Terry would have approved.

Gotta love the witches

I love this series and particularly the Discworld books with the witches in them. These feisty ladies are headstrong and full of good natured mischief. This book is very well narrated and a lot of fun, I laughed aloud when Nanny Og's suitor made a comment about others joining their relationship.

Terry explores the power of stories.
