About this listen

They say that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it is not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

There are some situations where the correct response is to display the sort of ignorance which happily and wilfully flies in the face of the facts. In this case, the birth of a baby girl, born a wizard - by mistake. Everybody knows that there's no such thing as a female wizard. But now it's gone and happened, there's nothing much anyone can do about it. Let the battle of the sexes begin...

Critic reviews

'If you are unfamiliar with Pratchett's unique blend of philosophical badinage, you are on the threshold of a mind-expanding opportunity'
'Persistently amusing, good-hearted and shrewd'
'Pratchett keeps getting better and better...It's hard to think of any humorist writing in Britain today who can match him'

Way ahead of its time & I thought Tony Robinson's narration (though a bit quiet at times) really brought it to life!

Fantastical & fantastic

All his books tend to be wonderful. Tony Robinson does wonderful work of the abridged story and does incredible voices too. The shorted form version is much more enjoyable than the full one since that audio book was done by a narrator who I feel didnt quite fit the genre of work.

Love Pratchett

Tony Robinson does bring this alive, but it's a Shame I couldn't get the Unabridged read by Nigel Planer. He does the sarcasm very well. As does Tony Robinson in this one. Unabridged was voiced by someone I've not heard of, who didn't seem to carry off the dry wit of the book in the same way.

Shame there was no Nigel Planer Unabridged version

Excellent story!! Narrator was very good, however, the difference in volume between his whisper and shouting voice was too great. Kept having to turn the volume up and down....

Excellent!
