Be careful what you wish for...

Once upon a time there was a fairy godmother named Desiderata who had a good heart, a wise head, and poor planning skills--which unforunately left the Princess Emberella in the care of her other (not quite so good and wise) godmother when DEATH came for Desiderata. So now it's up to Magrat Garlick, Granny Weatherwax, and Nanny Ogg to hop on broomsticks and make for far-distant Genua to ensure the servant girl doesn't marry the Prince.

But the road to Genua is bumpy, and along the way the trio of witches encounters the occasional vampire, werewolf, and falling house (well this is a fairy tale, after all). The trouble really begins once these reluctant foster-godmothers arrive in Genua and must outwit their power-hungry counterpart who'll stop at nothing to achieve a proper "happy ending"--even if it means destroying a kingdom.

    Le streghe son tornate!

    When you start a book and every word on the first 2 pages makes you smile, you know you're reading a good book!

    The witches are back, and this time it's all about fairy tales.

  • Witches Abroad was my favourite Discworld book for a long time.
    It's funny, and deep, and it has Granny Weatherwax and stories.
    I don't think I have to add anything else.

  • Probably the best of the discworld books.

    While I think the Guards books are - as a group - Terry's masterpiece, this is probably the best of the discworld books standing alone.

  • There's always something new to enjoy in a Discworld novel, no matter how many times you've read it.
