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.

Praise for Witches Abroad

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
