About this listen

 "Things like crowns had a troublesome effect on clever folks; it was best to leave all the reigning to the kind of people whose eyebrows met in the middle."

Three witches gathered on a lonely heath. A king has been cruelly murdered, his throne usurped by his ambitious cousin. A child heir and the crown of the kingdom are both missing. The omens are not auspicious for the new incumbent, for whom ascending this tainted throne is a more complicated affair than you might imagine - particularly when the blood on your hands just won't wash off, and you're facing a future with knives in it.

©1988 Terry Pratchett (P)2007 Penguin Audio Fantasy

Critic Reviews

"One of the pleasures of the book is the way in which literary classics float effortlessly through them in a way that would be pounced on as inter-textual in another author but is never allowed to become strident or alienating in Pratchett's work." (Guardian)

It was really well done, the only criticism I could make was there a bit too much dynamic range. Could have don’t with a bit of compression. Our parts sometimes too loud, compared with quiet parts.

Cheers

Tony Robinson delivers the story with the same energetic humor as it's written in, I wish it was an unabridged version though.

A truly hilarious take on a Shakespearean classic. Terry Pratchett has outdone himself with this interesting take on a piece of classic literature. Funny across all levels and very fun to read.

A satirical take on McBeth

I live this story so much, and it's clear that Tony Robinson lives it too. So much fun, highly recommended.

Terry Pratchett at his best!

I love Terry Pratchett books but I couldn't finish this audiobook as the narration alternated between too soft to hear and way too loud. The narrator was a bit too expressive in places, made it seem like he randomly over-acted some scenes.

terrible narrator
