Summary

"When you start believing in Spirits, you start believing in demons, and then before you know where you are, you're believing in Gods. And then you're in trouble."

Reality is all very well in small doses. It's a perfectly conventional and convenient way of neutralising the imagination. But sometimes when there's more than one reality at play, imagination just won't be neutralised, and the walls between realities come tumbling down. Unfortunately there's usually a damned good reason for there being walls between them in the first place. To keep things out. Things who want to make mischief and play havoc with the natural order.

Superb

Beautifully read. One of Pratchett's finest sympathetically condensed. Well worth a listen for all Discworld enthusiasts. Well worth a go.

Terry Pratchett and Tony Robinson the standard by

Terry Pratchett and Tony Robinson the standard by which all other versions need to be judged. Have read all the print editions of these wonderful books, and despite the Pratchett/Robinson versions being abridged the edit is so well done you hardly notice.
