About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.

Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before

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...

'No one mixes the fantastical and mundane to better comic effect' Daily Mail

'One of our greatest fantasists, and beyond a doubt the funniest' George R.R. Martin

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.

This version is fine and the review isn't a reflection of it. But many of us hugely prefer the Nigel Planer versions and it's very frustrating that you can't choose which production of the book to purchase. There are many online threads discussing it, and people are either left to borrow the audio books through Overdrive or pirate them, even though they'd be willing to purchase them if they were for sale. Please fix this issue and let us purchase the older audiobook versions if we want to.

It's such a delight to hear about the shenanigans that the witches get up to. Plus this book had a lot of page time for Greebo the cat. Such great laughs this book had.

The lady reading the parts is exceptional! Really brought Granny and Nanny to life and I love Death’s voice!
