About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before
The audiobook of Witches Abroad is narrated by Indira Varma (Game of Thrones; Luther; This Way Up). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.
'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 R.R. Martin
Witches Abroad is the third book in the Witches series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order.
The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Perfect Pratchett
Another fantastic audio version of a great Pratchett novel. Indira Varma brings Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick perfectly. Bravo!

Thoroughly enjoyable
Yet another great reading of the discworld books. As enjoyable as Tony Robinson’s abridged version and Nigel Palmer’s unabridged readings are, it’s really nice to see the books get new love and attention and a fitting high definition re-make for the audible age. Will absolutely be buying the whole Discworld collection on audible!

wrong pronunciation!
I genuinely don't understand. I'm at the part where they're all outside the pub drinking absinthe and for some reason, the narrator pronounced "stomach disorders" as stomach diforders and "a chest on your chest" as cheft on your cheft!!
I genuinely don't understand how this mistake was made, wrong pronunciation doesn't usually bother me if it's an unusual word but this felt intentional! I thought I was going mad, until I made my son listen to it to make sure I hadn't misheard.
really ruined the flow of the book and distracted me from the story.

Brilliant
The story was excellent, I absolutely loved the witches travelling and acting like Brits abroad whilst continually foiling classic fairytale plots. The dynamic between Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magret is fantastic and Indira Varma’s narration of them was perfection. I laughed so much whilst listening to this audiobook.

The camaraderie of three deliciously different souls
this is a story where you learn about the intricate and delicate patterns of camaraderie. reading these stories is like gaining two aunts and a cousin you never knew you needed.

DEATH
As usual Terry Pratchett at his best. Granny, Nanny and Magrat weave their way into our hearts.
