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 Witches Abroad 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. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

'You can't go around building a better world for people. Only people can build a better world for people. Otherwise, it's just a cage.'

There's power in stories. The Fairy Godmother is good. The servant girl marries the Prince. Everyone lives happily ever after... don't they?

The witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick are travelling to far-distant Genua to stop a wedding and save a kingdom. But how do you fight a happy-ever-after, especially when it comes with glass slippers and a power-hungry Fairy Godmother who has made Destiny an offer it can't refuse?

It's hard to resist a good story, even when the fate of the kingdom depends on it...

'No one mixes the fantastical and mundane to better comic effect' Daily Mail

'One of our greatest fantasists, and beyond a doubt the funniest' George R.R. Martin

Witches Abroad is the third book in the Witches 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

'A true orginal among contemporary writers'

'His jokes are the best thing since Wodehouse. His comic footnotes are still glorious'

'Pratchett's writing is a constant delight. No-one mixes the fantastical and mundane to better comic effect or offers sharper insights into the absurdities of modern endeavour'

Terry Pratchett at his absolute best, and brilliantly performed by the whole cast and especially Indira Varma of course. Absolutely loved it. One of those few books you hate to finish.

So well performed

The new recording brings fresh life to the audiobook. Well worth repurchasing, even though I listened to the original recording quite recently.

Great new narration

I've been waiting months for this and the other Witches books to be released. I wasn't a fan of any of the previous recordings and was very nervous in case I didn't like these either. I shouldn't have worried, this is beautifully done by all three of the narrators, and something I shall treasure and listen to again and again. Very well done to everyone involved in this massive project of recording all of Sir Terry's Discworld books, you've done a fantastic job.

Wonderful

Yet another great reading of the discworld books. As enjoyable as Tony Robinson’s abridged version and Nigel Palmer’s unabridged readings are, it’s really nice to see the books get new love and attention and a fitting high definition re-make for the audible age. Will absolutely be buying the whole Discworld collection on audible!

Thoroughly enjoyable

I love the Witches, fabulous story, great Narration, just brilliant! it's great that Bill N is doing the foot notes.

Pure Pratchett perfection
