    One of the most amazing things Terry Pratchett does with his Discworld series is to take the familiar and twist it ever so slightly, making us look at our world differently. That he can make us laugh, cry and wonder - often in one book - is just another reason for his enduring popularity.

    "Lords and Ladies" - another entry into the witches saga - takes on the subject of Faeries. Fairy tales are some of the most enduring and easily accessible narrative mechanisms available to modern writers. Their universal appeal and familiarity lend a solid base to any novel, a fact which has been utilized many times, but, with a master like Pratchett, is turned to startling effect. Terry Pratchett turns the accepted image of fairies and the Fae folk on its head - from benign and mischievous spirits, Pratchett twists these previously venerated ethereal beings into creatures of vanity - glamourous, but dangerous. You'll find no Galadriel, awful in her glorious goodness, no noble, Legolas.

    Like all good marchen, there's a lesson to be learned, but laughs and adventures along the way.
