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 Wintersmith 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.

Saying it with frozen roses and icebergs

Tiffany Aching leaps into a dance - and suddenly the spirit of winter is in love with her. He's showering her with snowflakes and offering her a crown of ice. Which is creepy, but also just a little bit... cool.

Now she's dancing to his tune. She can't change the steps.

But unless Tiffany can work out how to deal with the Wintersmith, there will never be another springtime...

Wintersmith is the third 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

In every sense fantastic
Pratchett's one-liners, the comic dialogue of the Feegles, the satire about teenagers and the credulousness of the ordinary folk make for a characteristically entertaining mix
Terry Pratchett kicks the bejaysus out of JK Rowling . . . If you haven't read Pratchett before then give yourself a treat and buy this book
Exhuberant energy and humour
Charming in every sense of the word. Beautifully written and at times highly comic, it is an extraordinary achievement
Sure to be as popular with both children and adults as all his other books
Lively wit, sly wisdom and compelling narratives
Pratchett's usual mix of uproarious comedy and deceptively serious thought
He's probably the funniest writer in English today . . . great themes with huge doses of comedy
Funny and winning as ever
All stars

Beautifully done. The ending made me laugh and then cry (if you’ve listened to them in order you’ll know - it’s not his cow.. or book). But another excellent snippet in the life of Tiffany Aching, growing up and being well on her way to becoming the hag of hags after Granny.

Just beautiful.

I usually prefer to read than to listen to Pratchett books because he writes beautifully. However, these new adaptations are amazing and in my head I cannot do justice to the Nac Mac Feegle. Tiffany is a hero, she can't seem to catch a break. But taking responsibility for your errors and righting what's wrong is what makes you into a good human. Not that Winter figured it out...

Peter Serofinowitz as Death is exactly how I imagined Death sounding. The story telling is fantastic and I actually enjoyed listening more than I expected
