Summary

"Things have to come to an end, see. That's how it works when you turn the world into stories. You should never have done that. You shouldn't treat people like they was characters, like they was things. But if you do, then you've got to know where the story ends."

That's the problem when you let real life get in the way of a good story. You shouldn't let it happen, especially when a good story involves three witches, including a fairy godmother, and travelling to a faraway land to make sure that a servant girl doesn't marry a prince. It looks as though a happy ending may be averted before catastrophe strikes. But unfortunately, the forces of good are up against a godmother who has made Destiny an offer it can't refuse.

Tony Robinson at his best!!

Tony Robinson at his best!! as always. I've read almost all of his books throughout my years of reading and it's brilliantly read. Tony keeps you entertained with all the different voices, that really bring the story to life. Well worth it!

Kept me listening

Tony Robinson’s a I’ll to bring to life all the characters with different voices is wonderful. Terry’s writing is incredible and this abridged version is well-worth a listen

ABRIDGED!

It should say clearly that this is an abridged version. I found it confusing to follow and lacking Terry Pratchett's natural rhythm of the story. Wish I could ask Audible to swap it to the unabridged version!
No issues with Terry's work or Tony's reading.
