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.

'A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on'

William de Worde is the accidental editor of the Discworld's first newspaper.

Now he must cope with the traditional perils of a journalist's life - people who want him dead, a recovering vampire with a suicidal fascination for flash photography, some more people who want him dead in a different way and, worst of all, the man who keeps begging him to publish pictures of his humorously shaped potatoes.

William just wants to get at THE TRUTH. Unfortunately, everyone else wants to get at William. And it's only the third edition...

The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order but The Truth is a standalone novel.

Took a while to get used to the voices after Stephen Briggs but after that it was flawless.

Brilliant

Great performance from Baynton really enhances one of Pratchett's best novels. A great anti-elite polemic.

Baynton aces it!

One of my all-time favourites immaculately brought to life! I’d read the book twice as a young adult and yet found it just as entertaining as a much older person.

Excellent

So fun

I thoroughly enjoyed this, due in no small part to Matthew Baynton’s wonderful narration, each character was uniquely voiced and brought to life.

Fantastic

Awesome book, great performance

Doesn’t quite match up to guards guards and a few other all time greats but still a great story.

Another classic. Not the best but still great.
