The twelfth Discworld novel and third in the Witches series - revamped with a fresh bold look targeting a new generation of fantasy fans.

'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 RR Martin

Witches Abroad is the third book in the Witches series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

Reviews for Witches Abroad: (Discworld Novel 12)

Not just a great writer but also an original thinker ... funny, exciting, lighthearted and, like all the best comedy, very serious * The Guardian * Clever, engaging and laugh-out-loud funny * The Times * Warm, silly, compulsively readable, fantastically inventive, surprisingly serious exploration in story form of just about any aspect of our world * Evening Standard *
