Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The audiobook of Witches Abroad is narrated by Indira Varma (Game of Thrones; Luther; This Way Up). 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. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.
'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....
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.

The casting is perfect
The incredible writing is brought to life by the perfect casting. Funny, moving, thought-provoking - it’s all here. I look forward to listening to these Terry Pratchett books during my morning walks to work.

Worthwhile
An excellent reading. While I love the Briggs versions of the Discworld books, I am very happy to see time and money being invested into new audio editions. I will continue to support and enjoy these as they are released. Thanks and Good Job to Penguin.

Love the new version
Love this book and the social commentary that comes with it. The narrator brings the witches to life and Death’s frequent appearances are (de)animated by the actor

A worthy addition to any bookshelf
Again, Indira Varma has managed to capture the essence of Terry Pratchett's Witches, bringing the characters to life. Bill Nighy delights as the Footnotes by chiming in with interesting meanings for words, explanations for actions, or just some odd tidbit that just comes in from left field.
Peter Serafinowicz has performed a miracle in lending the iconic Death a persona as brilliant as any in the film and television adaptations of Pratchett's work.
The story itself, like many of Pratchett's works, manages to work on many levels - it is an entertaining story at its surface, about three witches set out on a journey to defeat an evil fairy godmother, but achieves meaning at deeper levels, and is full of wisdom and meanings that can leave the reader/listener looking at their own world (or self) in a different way.

Even more delightful with these wonderful voice actors
The story is beautiful and I love visiting with Granny but they are brought so beautifully to life by the voice actors here that I was sad that it ended as I felt I was saying goodbye to friends
