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 cruelly murdered, his throne usurped by his ambitious cousin. A child heir and the crown of the kingdom, 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...

Critic reviews

'Like Jonathan Swift, Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own, and like Swift, he is a satirist of enormous talent'
'One of the perennial joys of modern fiction'
'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'

Where does Wyrd Sisters rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Wyrd Sisters is excellent listening, as good as anything else I have had form Audible. Tony Robinson has just the right quirky narrative style - although I did enjoy his rendition of the Tiffany Aching stories more, because his voices for the Wee Free Men are perfect.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Wyrd Sisters?

Wyrd Sisters is the first of the 'Witches' Discworld books from Terry Pratchett, and as good a place as any to start listening if you have been living on a desert Island for the past 30 years and have never encountered his books before.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Its impossible to pick out just one scene for praise, because every scene has a gem of wit.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I always listen to audiobooks in the car, and this one made me want to keep on driving!

Comedy genius

One of my favourite TP books, witty, non stop laughs, wonderful characters and always leaves me feeling happier for having listened to it. Really wish Audible would re record the unabridged version of the story which suffers from bad audio and poor narration. Highly recommend the abridged version.

My go to escapism

Brilliant story, as you’d expect, and hilariously narrated, but sadly heavily abridged. Such a shame, as you lose such a lot of marvellous detail.

Fab but abridged!

I cannot imagine anyone else narrating these adventures other than Tony Robinson. He brings Terry Pratchett's characters alive like no other. Beware where you listen to them as you may get some very strange looks from those around when you cannot contain the laughter.

Be very careful where you read T P's books
