About this listen

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 I Shall Wear Midnight 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. Steven Cree (Outlander; A Discovery of Witches) voices the Nac Mac Feegles. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

As the witch of the Chalk, Tiffany Aching performs the distinctly unglamorous work of caring for the needy.

But someone - or something - is inciting fear, generating dark thoughts and angry murmurs against witches.

Tiffany must find the source of unrest and defeat the evil at its root. Aided by the tiny-but-tough Wee Free Men, Tiffany faces a dire challenge, for if she falls, the whole Chalk falls with her...

I Shall Wear Midnight is the fourth book in the Tiffany Aching 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.

Critic reviews

Teen witch Tiffany is one of [Pratchett's]most formidable creations yet
Tiffany Aching fans should be ecstatic.
Writing at the height of his powers . . . he makes us laugh a lot.
funny
... everything gets very funny
Adventure, magic and the usual dark, dry humour will keep you entertained from start to finish.
There are entertaining twists, humorous moments, and just enough romance to leave everyone happy at the end of the book.
a must for all Pratchett fans

As the well-places plot unravels in Pratchett's inimitable style, it goes without saying that everything gets very funny.
Like Tiffany, Pratchett has always known that "laughter helps things slide into the thinking".

(Alex Sarll, Sarah O'Meara)
Pratchett's book is suffused with an awareness of the thankless exhaustion which awaits people in the caring professions.

I feel the voice acting is absolutely spot on...The females sound exactly like they did in my head when I read this years ago

These are just such good adaptations. The narration and voices are spot on. I loved the Stephen Briggs ones but these just go above and beyond

Indira is amazing

This has long been one of my favourite Discworld novels. I have read and reread it. Indira Varma and Steven Cree’s narration captures Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching and her world perfectly. Another wonderful new audio version of a magnificent series. Crivens! (Michael).

Perfect narration

Indira Varma does such an excellent job of bringing these stories to life. Her voicing of the characters makes them utterly believable - including the men, which enables the story to flow.

Coupled with the excellent writing, a great piece of escapism!


Another wonderful tale
