The two play so well off of each other' Goodreads reviewer, 'I'll never view the fairy tales of my youth the same way again after reading this one.

But Granny Weatherwax, Discworld's most famous witch, is in the audience. And she doesn't hold with that sort of thing.So there's going to be trouble (but nevertheless a good evening's entertainment with murders you can really hum.)Readers love Maskerade:'This book had me sniggering and even laughing out loud every 20 pages or so, it truly was an excellent novel, and for the time being, my favourite characters Well it has to be the Witches' Goodreads reviewer, 'This one was as usual laugh out loud funny.

Because sometimes, when there's more than one reality at play, too much dreaming can make the walls between them come tumbling down. And there's usually a damned good reason for there being walls between them in the first place - to keep things out. Things who want to make mischief and play havoc with the natural order.Granny Weatherwax and her tiny coven are up against real elves. And even in a world of dwarfs, wizards, trolls, Morris dancers and the odd orang-utan, this is going to cause real trouble. With lots of hey-nonny-nonny and blood all over the place.Readers love Lords and Ladies:'I love how Pratchett's writing never ceases to amaze me.
